feat: v5 style overhaul (#2469)
Style updates:

- New "core" theme serves as base for all other themes (official and third-party)
- New CSS custom properties for simplified customization of "core" theme
  **Note:** List of available properties will be made available in documentation by embedding soruce CSS in docs after merge. Merge is required because embedded CSS needs to be in `main` branch. For now, see `_vars.css` and `_vars-advanced.css` for details.
- New theme "add-ons" modify core theme properties and/or add custom declarations as needed.
- New Prism.js theme support
- New configurable sidebar toggle design
- New typography defaults to system sans-serif and monospace fonts instead of relying on external web font.
- New "Core Dark" theme addon provide dark theme styles. Can optionally be applied based on operating system's light/dark setting using `@media` attribute on `<link>` element.
- New "Vue" theme addon. Closely replicated popular v4 theme while allowing for v5 enhancements.
- New CSS class names available for adding loading indicators, adding sidebar expand/collapse icons, adding sidebar group styles, clamping sidebar links to a single line with ellipses, and changing the sidebar toggle icon.
- New auto-generated gradient background for cover page (ensure gradient hue is > 50 degree apart, use OKLCH color if supported, randomize grandient angle, reduce brightness in dark mode)
- New button styles (basic, primary, secondary)
- New form element styles (text input, radio, checkbox, )
- New "callouts" (previously "important" and "tip" helpers)
- New default syntax highlighting theme (from [docsify-themeable](https://jhildenbiddle.github.io/docsify-themeable/))

- New "headerless" tables
- New `kbd` styles
- New task list style
- New merged navbar styles (consistent with sidebar nav styles)
- New search plugin styles and keyboard shortcut indicators
- Add ability restore previously focused content element after hiding sidebar
- Add "focus trap" when sidebar is visible on mobile (accessibility)
- Add ability for sidebar links to wrap by default (previous single-line w/ ellipsis display available as CSS class on `<body>` option)
- Add sidebar `page-link`, `group`, and `group-title` CSS classes to sidebar markup.
- Add reduced motion media query to set all animation/transition timings to zero
- Update Google Font imports (use new variable vs older fixed width fonts)
- Update primary/secondary button order on coverpage (primary should be first)
- Fix missing merged navbar when loading at desktop resolution then resizing to mobile
- Fix inverted open/close sidebar visibility state at desktop/mobile resolutions
- Fix overflow setting to prevent clipping of element focus ring
- Fix safe area inset margins on mobile in landscape orientation
- Fix inverted "tip" and "warn" class names
- Fix scroll padding to prevent headers from touching top edge of viewport when scrolled to

Custom navbar

HTML

If you need custom navigation, you can create a HTML-based navigation bar.

!> Note that documentation links begin with #/.

<!-- index.html -->

<body>
  <nav>
    <a href="#/">EN</a>
    <a href="#/zh-cn/">简体中文</a>
  </nav>
  <div id="app"></div>
</body>

Markdown

Alternatively, you can create a custom markdown-based navigation file by setting loadNavbar to true and creating _navbar.md, compare loadNavbar configuration.

<!-- index.html -->

<script>
  window.$docsify = {
    loadNavbar: true,
  };
</script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/docsify.min.js"></script>
<!-- _navbar.md -->

- [En](/)
- [chinese](/zh-cn/)

To create drop-down menus:

<!-- _navbar.md -->

- Translations

  - [En](/)
  - [chinese](/zh-cn/)

!> You need to create a .nojekyll in ./docs to prevent GitHub Pages from ignoring files that begin with an underscore.

_navbar.md is loaded from each level directory. If the current directory doesn't have _navbar.md, it will fall back to the parent directory. If, for example, the current path is /guide/quick-start, the _navbar.md will be loaded from /guide/_navbar.md.

Nesting

You can create sub-lists by indenting items that are under a certain parent.

<!-- _navbar.md -->

- Getting started

  - [Quick start](quickstart.md)
  - [Writing more pages](more-pages.md)
  - [Custom navbar](custom-navbar.md)
  - [Cover page](cover.md)

- Configuration

  - [Configuration](configuration.md)
  - [Themes](themes.md)
  - [Using plugins](plugins.md)
  - [Markdown configuration](markdown.md)
  - [Language highlight](language-highlight.md)

Nesting navbar

Combining custom navbars with the emoji plugin

If you use the emoji plugin:

<!-- index.html -->

<script>
  window.$docsify = {
    // ...
  };
</script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/docsify.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/plugins/emoji.min.js"></script>

you could, for example, use flag emojis in your custom navbar Markdown file:

<!-- _navbar.md -->

- [:us:, :uk:](/)
- [:cn:](/zh-cn/)
