title: Writing a New Post
|
|
author: Cotes Chung

|
## Naming and Path
|
|
|
|
Create a new file named `YYYY-MM-DD-TITLE.EXTENSION` and put it in the `_post/` of the root directory. Please note that the `EXTENSION` must be one of `md` and `markdown`. From `v2.4.1`, you can create sub-directories under `_posts/` to categorize posts.
|
|
|
|
## Front Matter
|
|
|
|
Basically, you need to fill the [Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/) as below at the top of the post:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: TITLE
|
|
date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS +/-TTTT
|
|
categories: [TOP_CATEGORIE, SUB_CATEGORIE]
|
|
tags: [TAG] # TAG names should always be lowercase
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: The posts' ***layout*** has been set to `post` by default, so there is no need to add the variable ***layout*** in Front Matter block.
|
|
|
|
### Timezone of date
|
|
|
|
In order to accurately record the release date of a post, you should not only setup the `timezone` of `_config.yml` but also provide the the post's timezone in field `date` of its Front Matter block. Format: `+/-TTTT`, e.g. `+0800`.
|
|
|
|
### Categories and Tags
|
|
|
|
The `categories` of each post is designed to contain up to two elements, and the number of elements in `tags` can be zero to infinity. For instance:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
categories: [Animal, Insect]
|
|
tags: [bee]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Table of Contents
|
|
|
|
By default, the **T**able **o**f **C**ontents (TOC) is displayed on the right panel of the post. If you want to turn it off globally, go to `_config.yml` and set the value of variable `toc` to `false`. If you want to turn off TOC for specific post, add the following to post's [Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
toc: false
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Comments
|
|
|
|
Similar to TOC, the [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) comments is loaded by default in each post, and the global switch is defined by variable `comments` in file `_config.yml` . If you want to close the comment for specific post, add the following to the **Front Matter** of the post:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
comments: false
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Mathematics
|
|
|
|
For website performance reasons, the mathematical feature won't be loaded by default. But it can be enabled by:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
math: true
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Preview Image
|
|
|
|
If you want to add an image to the top of the post contents, specify the url for the image by:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
image: /path/to/image-file
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pinned Posts
|
|
|
|
You can pin one or more posts to the top of the home page, and the fixed posts are sorted in reverse order according to their release date. Enable by:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
pin: true
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Code Block
|
|
|
|
Markdown symbols <code class="highlighter-rouge">```</code> can easily create a code block as following examples.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
This is a common code snippet, without syntax highlight and line number.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Specific Language
|
|
|
|
Using <code class="highlighter-rouge">```language</code> you will get code snippets with line numbers and syntax highlight.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: The Jekyll style `{% raw %}{%{% endraw %} highlight LANGUAGE {% raw %}%}{% endraw %}` or `{% raw %}{%{% endraw %} highlight LANGUAGE linenos {% raw %}%}{% endraw %}` are not allowed to be used in this theme !
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Yaml code snippet
|
|
items:
|
|
- part_no: A4786
|
|
descrip: Water Bucket (Filled)
|
|
price: 1.47
|
|
quantity: 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Liquid Codes
|
|
|
|
If you want to display the **Liquid** snippet, surround the liquid code with `{% raw %}{%{% endraw %} raw {%raw%}%}{%endraw%}` and `{% raw %}{%{% endraw %} endraw {%raw%}%}{%endraw%}` .
|
|
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
```liquid
|
|
{% if product.title contains 'Pack' %}
|
|
This product's title contains the word Pack.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
```
|
|
{% endraw %}
