Variables	/docs/variables/

Jekyll traverses your site looking for files to process. Any files with front matter are subject to processing. For each of these files, Jekyll makes a variety of data available via the Liquid. The following is a reference of the available data.

Global Variables

{% for var in site.data.jekyll_variables.global %} {% endfor %}

Variable	Description
{{ var.name }}	{{- var.description -}}

Site Variables

{% for var in site.data.jekyll_variables.site %} {% endfor %}

Variable	Description
{{ var.name }}	{{- var.description -}}

Page Variables

{% for var in site.data.jekyll_variables.page %} {% endfor %}

Variable	Description
{{ var.name }}	{{- var.description -}}

ProTip™: Use Custom Front Matter

Any custom front matter that you specify will be available under
<code>page</code>. For example, if you specify <code>custom_css: true</code>
in a page’s front matter, that value will be available as
<code>page.custom_css</code>.

If you specify front matter in a layout, access that via <code>layout</code>.
For example, if you specify <code>class: full_page</code>
in a layout’s front matter, that value will be available as
<code>layout.class</code> in the layout and its parents.

Paginator

{% for var in site.data.jekyll_variables.paginator %} {% endfor %}

Variable	Description
{{ var.name }}	{{- var.description -}}

Paginator variable availability

These are only available in index files, however they can be located in a
subdirectory, such as <code>/blog/index.html</code>.
