Liquid templates

Jekyll includes a template subsystem called Liquid.

For example, this:

---
day: tuesday
---
hello {{ page.day }}

will produce this:

<p>hello tuesday</p>

Misc

Files without the --- header lines are simply copied to the _site folder.

By default, Jekyll uses kramdown.

Kramdown is a superset of standard Markdown that adds several extensions, including:

• Footnotes — [^1] style references
• Definition lists — using : syntax
• Tables — GitHub-style pipe tables
• Attribute lists — {: .class #id} to add HTML attributes to elements
• Fenced code blocks — with both backticks and tildes, plus an optional language hint
• Math blocks — via $$...$$ (often paired with MathJax or KaTeX)
• Inline HTML — mixed freely with Markdown
