liquid

I'm constructing a static site (no blog) with Jekyll/Liquid. I want it to have an auto-generated navigation menu that lists all existing pages and highlight the current page. The items should be added to the menu in a particular order. Therefore, I define a weight property in the pages' YAML: --- layout : default title : Some title weight : 5 --- The navigation menu is constructed as follows: <ul> {% for p in site.pages | sort:weight %} <li> <a {% if p.url == page.url %}class="active"{% endif %} href="{{ p.url }}"> {{ p.title }} </a> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> This creates links to all existing

scratching my head over this - help much appreciated. I want to display a list of all my Jekyll posts, organised by category. I know Line 3 isn't correct but I can't figure out what it should be. Any ideas? Thanks! {% for category in site.categories %} <h3>{{ category | first }}</h3> {% for post in page.categories.category %} {{ post.title }}<br> {% endfor %} {% endfor %} Alex G Got it! Needed an intermediate posts loop before listing out individual posts <ul> {% for category in site.categories %} <li><a name="{{ category | first }}">{{ category | first }}</a> <ul> {% for post in category.last

I'm using Jekyll to generate a simple site. I want the date field to display in the format 12 September 2011 . I've found, through some creative googling, a bit of date-format manipulation, but nothing that seems to get me the month name. What I have is {{ page.date| date: "%m-%d-%Y" }} , which gets me output as 09-12-2011 , but isn't quite what I'm looking for. Is there any way to get the month as a name in Jekyll? Or, barring that, is there any documentation for the date attribute? Solution This output filter: {{ page.date | date: "%-d %B %Y" }} produces dates formatted like: 9 September

I'm using Jekyll to create a documentation site wherein I am trying to document some code that contains handlebars-like syntax. For example {{foo}} . The problem is that Jekyll uses liquid tags and no matter what I do, my double curlies are getting ripped out by the liquid processor. By the way, I'm using kramdown as the markdown processor. Here is something I've tried: {% highlight html linenos %} Hello, my name is {{name}}. {% endhighlight %} This one removes the {{name}} section completely because it thinks it's a reference to a liquid variable. I also tried this: {% highlight html linenos

I made a custom link tag in Liquid and I am trying to be able to pass liquid variables into the call for that tag like so {{ assign id = 'something' }} // this value is actual dynamic while looping through data {% link_to article: id, text: 'Click Me!' %} // my custom tag However this results in the article parameter being passed in as 'id' instead of 'something' as per the assign statement above it. Does anyone know how to pass variables into tag calls? I've recently solved this very simply with Jekyll 0.11.2 and Liquid 2.3.0 by passing the name of the variable as the tag parameter. {% assign
