Yesterday, I started with Jekyll as a sideproject. After searching a while for themes on mademistakes and jekyllthemes I found Kaktus.
I tried some other themes too, but only kaktus seems as minimalistic and maintainable as I wanted it to be.
After deleting some Google Analytics and Disqus stuff I digged in the Liquid template engine to create some lists based on a parameter. To my astonishment, it was pretty easy:
Create Jekyll post lists based on a parameter
The page:
{% include archive-list.html category="photography" %}
The post:
---
title: "Some title"
category: photography
---
The include html:
{% for post in site.posts %}
{% if include.category %}
{% if post.category == include.category %}
<a href='{{ post.url }}'>{{ post.title }}</a>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
HowTo highlight Liquid tags
For this post I needed to include some code containing Liquid tags like {% raw %} {% include xyz %} {% endraw %}. I thought that I can print them with the {% raw %} {% highlight %} {% endraw %} tag without being processed. I was wrong. Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google could return some useful information to that problem. In the end, I found the solution in the Jekyll Sources itself where they describe the {% raw %} {% highlight %} {% endraw %} tag in the docs. You simply have to surround the code by the tags raw and endraw.
