liquid

I am using the YAML heading of a markdown file to add an excerpt variable to blog posts that I can use elsewhere. In one of these excerpts I refer to an earlier blog post via markdown link markup, and I use the liquid template data variable {{ site.url }} in place of the base URL of the site. So I have something like (trimmed it somewhat) --- title: "Decluttering ordination plots in vegan part 2: orditorp()" status: publish layout: post published: true tags: - tag1 - tag2 excerpt: In the [earlier post in this series]({{ site.url }}/2013/01/12/ decluttering-ordination-plots-in-vegan-part-1

I'm rewriting my blog to use Jekyll. Jekyll uses the Liquid templating language so it makes it a little more difficult to learn how to customize. I'd like to group my list of blog posts by year. How would I write the Liquid code to be able to do this? {% for post in site.posts %} <li><!-- display post year here (but only once, per year) --></li> <li> <a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a> </li> {% endfor %} If you want to break it down by year, here's the code: {% for post in site.posts %} {% capture this_year %}{{ post.date | date: "%Y" }}{% endcapture %} {% capture next_year %}{{ post

This sounds very easy, however I couldn't find it anywhere in the docs. How can I write {% this %} in a liquid template, without it being processed by the engine? Khaja Minhajuddin For future searchers, there is a way to escape without plugins, use the code below: {{ "{% this " }}%} and for tags, to escape {{ this }} use: {{ "{{ this " }}}} There is also a jekyll plugin for this which makes it a whole lot easier: https://gist.github.com/1020852 Raw tag for jekyll. Keeps liquid from parsing text betweeen {% raw %} and {% endraw %} Reference it is possible to disable liquid processing engine

I am using the standard jekyll installation to maintain a blog, everything is going fine. Except I would really like to tag my posts. I can tag a post using the YAML front matter, but how do I generate pages for each tag that can will list all posts for a tag? Brian Clapper This gist will generate a page per category for you: https://gist.github.com/524748 It uses a Jekyll Generator plugin, plus a Page subclass. Christian Specht Here is a solution with alphabetically sorted tags on a single page . It uses Liquid only, which means that it works on GitHub Pages: {% capture tags %} {% for tag in
