Jekyll uses the [Liquid](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) templating language
to process templates.

Generally in Liquid you output content using two curly braces e.g.
{% raw %}`{{ variable }}`{% endraw %} and perform logic statements by
surrounding them in a curly brace percentage sign e.g.
{% raw %}`{% if statement %}`{% endraw %}. To learn more about Liquid, check
out the [official Liquid Documentation](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/).

Jekyll provides a number of useful Liquid additions to help you build your site:

* [Filters]({{ '/docs/liquid/filters/' | relative_url }})
* [Tags]({{ '/docs/liquid/tags/' | relative_url }})
