Jekyll allows you to concoct your sites in any way you can dream up, and it’s
thanks to the powerful and flexible configuration options that this is possible.
These options can either be specified in a `_config.yml` file placed in your
site’s root directory, or can be specified as flags for the `jekyll` executable
in the terminal.
## Configuration Settings
### Global Configuration
The table below lists the available settings for Jekyll, and the various <code
class="option">options</code> (specified in the configuration file) and <code
class="flag">flags</code> (specified on the command-line) that control them.

### Serve Command Options
In addition to the options below, the `serve` sub-command can accept any of the options
for the `build` sub-command, which are then applied to the site build which occurs right
before your site is served.

<h5>Do not use tabs in configuration files</h5>
<p>
This will either lead to parsing errors, or Jekyll will revert to the
default settings. Use spaces instead.

## Default Configuration
Jekyll runs with the following configuration options by default. Unless
alternative settings for these options are explicitly specified in the
configuration file or on the command-line, Jekyll will run using these options.
<div class="note warning">
<h5>There are two unsupported kramdown options</h5>
<p>
Please note that both <code>remove_block_html_tags</code> and
<code>remove_span_html_tags</code> are currently unsupported in Jekyll due to the
fact that they are not included within the kramdown HTML converter.

## Markdown Options
The various Markdown renderers supported by Jekyll sometimes have extra options available.
### Redcarpet
Redcarpet can be configured by providing an `extensions` sub-setting, whose value should be an array of strings. Each string should be the name of one of the `Redcarpet::Markdown` class's extensions; if present in the array, it will set the corresponding extension to `true`.
Jekyll handles two special Redcarpet extensions:
- `no_fenced_code_blocks` --- By default, Jekyll sets the `fenced_code_blocks` extension (for delimiting code blocks with triple tildes or triple backticks) to `true`, probably because GitHub's eager adoption of them is starting to make them inescapable. Redcarpet's normal `fenced_code_blocks` extension is inert when used with Jekyll; instead, you can use this inverted version of the extension for disabling fenced code.
Note that you can also specify a language for highlighting after the first delimiter:
```ruby
# ...ruby code
```
With both fenced code blocks and pygments enabled, this will statically highlight the code; without pygments, it will add a `class="LANGUAGE"` attribute to the `<code>` element, which can be used as a hint by various JavaScript code highlighting libraries.
- `smart` --- This pseudo-extension turns on SmartyPants, which converts straight quotes to curly quotes and runs of hyphens to em (`---`) and en (`--`) dashes.
All other extensions retain their usual names from Redcarpet, and no renderer options aside from `smart` can be specified in Jekyll. [A list of available extensions can be found in the Redcarpet README file.][redcarpet_extensions] Make sure you're looking at the README for the right version of Redcarpet: Jekyll currently uses v2.2.x, and extensions like `footnotes` and `highlight` weren't added until after version 3.0.0. The most commonly used extensions are:
- `tables`
- `no_intra_emphasis`
- `autolink`
