Custom variables set via front matter in layouts will be available here. - name: jekyll description: >- Jekyll-centric information will be available here. See below for details. - name: theme description: >- Theme-gem specific information as defined in the theme's gemspec. Useful for rendering information in the theme demo's "About" page, for example.

Not defined in Post or Page files. - name: paginator description: >- When the paginate configuration option is set, this variable becomes available for use.

By default, these are the ten most recent posts. For high quality but slow to compute results, run the jekyll command with the --lsi (latent semantic indexing) option. Also note GitHub Pages does not support the lsi option when generating sites. - name: site.static_files description: >- A list of all static files (i.e. files not processed by Jekyll's converters or the Liquid renderer). Each file has five properties: path, modified_time, name, basename and extname. - name: site.html_pages description: >- A subset of site.pages listing those which end in .html. - name: site.html_files description: >- A subset of site.static_files listing those which end in .html. - name: site.collections description: >- A list of all the collections (including posts). - name: site.data description: >- A list containing the data loaded from the YAML files located in the _data directory. - name: site.documents description: >- A list of all the documents in every collection. - name: site.categories.CATEGORY description: >- The list of all Posts in category CATEGORY. - name: site.tags.TAG description: >- The list of all Posts with tag TAG. - name: site.url description: >- Contains the url of your site as it is configured in the _config.yml. For example, if you have url: http://mysite.com in your configuration file, then it will be accessible in Liquid as site.url. For the development environment there is an exception, if you are running jekyll serve in a development environment site.url will be set to the value of host, port, and SSL-related options. This defaults to url: http://localhost:4000. - name: "site.[CONFIGURATION_DATA]" description: >- All the variables set via the command line and your _config.yml are available through the site variable. For example, if you have foo: bar in your configuration file, then it will be accessible in Liquid as site.foo. Jekyll does not parse changes to _config.yml in watch mode, you must restart Jekyll to see changes to variables. page: - name: page.content description: >- The content of the Page, rendered or un-rendered depending upon what Liquid is being processed and what page is. - name: page.title description: >- The title of the Page or Document resource. - name: page.excerpt description: >- The un-rendered excerpt of a Page or Document. Can be overridden in the front matter. It can either be disabled atomically for certain page or document by setting an empty string to an excerpt_separator key in the front matter of desired resource or disabled site-wide by setting the same as a top-level key in the config file. - name: page.url description: >- The URL of the Post without the domain, but with a leading slash, e.g. /2008/12/14/my-post.html - name: page.date description: >- The Date assigned to the Post. This can be overridden in a Post's front matter by specifying a new date/time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (assuming UTC), or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS +/-TTTT (to specify a time zone using an offset from UTC. e.g. 2008-12-14 10:30:00 +0900).

Not applicable to Pages. - name: page.categories description: >- The list of categories to which this post belongs. Categories are derived from the directory structure above the _posts directory. For example, a post at /work/code/_posts/2008-12-24-closures.md would have this field set to ['work', 'code']. These can also be specified in the front matter. Note: Path-based categories may not work for documents in user-defined collections. - name: page.collection description: >- The label of the collection to which a Document belongs. e.g. posts for a post, or puppies for a document at path _puppies/rover.md. If not part of a collection, an empty string is returned. - name: page.tags description: >- The list of tags to which this post belongs. These can be specified in the front matter. - name: page.dir description: >- The path between the source directory and the file of a page, e.g. /pages/ when the page is at path pages/about.md relative to the source directory. This is derived from the url attribute of the page and can therefore be overridden via the permalink key in the front matter. NOTE: This variable is not applicable to posts and documents in user-defined collections. Use the categories variable to get similar info for posts. - name: page.name description: >- The filename of the post or page, e.g. about.md - name: page.path description: >- The path to the raw post or page, relative to the source directory. Example usage: Using a combination of the repository's blob URL and this page variable to get the full URL to the file in the repository. This can be overridden in the front matter. - name: page.slug description: >- The filename of a Document resource without its extension (or date prefixes for a post). For example, slug for a post at URL /2017/02/22/my-new-post.html, would be my-new-post.
