Tag Plugins

Tag plugins are different from post tags. They are ported from Octopress and provide a useful way for you to quickly add specific content to your posts.

Although you can write your posts in any format, the tag plugins will always be available and syntax remains the same.

Tag plugins should not be wrapped inside Markdown syntax, e.g. []({% post_path lorem-ipsum %}) is not supported.

Block Quote

Perfect for adding quotes to your post, with optional author, source and title information.

Alias: quote

{% blockquote [author[, source]] [link] [source_link_title] %}
content
{% endblockquote %}

Examples

No arguments. Plain blockquote.

{% blockquote %}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque hendrerit lacus ut purus iaculis feugiat. Sed nec tempor elit, quis aliquam neque. Curabitur sed diam eget dolor fermentum semper at eu lorem.
{% endblockquote %}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque hendrerit lacus ut purus iaculis feugiat. Sed nec tempor elit, quis aliquam neque. Curabitur sed diam eget dolor fermentum semper at eu lorem.

Quote from a book

{% blockquote David Levithan, Wide Awake %}
Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.
{% endblockquote %}

Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.

Code Block

A useful feature for adding code snippets to your post.

Alias: code

{% codeblock [title] [lang:language] [url] [link text] [additional options] %}
code snippet
{% endcodeblock %}

Specify additional options in option:value format, e.g. line_number:false first_line:5.

Extra Options Description Default
line_number Show line number true
line_threshold Only show line numbers as long as the numbers of lines of the code block exceed such threshold. 0
highlight Enable code highlighting true
first_line Specify the first line number 1
mark Line highlight specific line(s), each value separated by a comma. Specify the number range using a dash
Example: mark:1,4-7,10 will mark lines 1, 4 to 7 and 10.
wrap Wrap the code block in <table> true

Examples

A plain code block

{% codeblock %}
alert('Hello World!');
{% endcodeblock %}
alert('Hello World!');

Specifying the language

{% codeblock lang:objc %}
[rectangle setX: 10 y: 10 width: 20 height: 20];
{% endcodeblock %}
[rectangle setX: 10 y: 10 width: 20 height: 20];

Adding a caption to the code block

{% codeblock Array.map %}
array.map(callback[, thisArg])
{% endcodeblock %}
Array.map
array.map(callback[, thisArg])

Adding a caption and a URL

{% codeblock _.compact http://underscorejs.org/#compact Underscore.js %}
_.compact([0, 1, false, 2, '', 3]);
=> [1, 2, 3]
{% endcodeblock %}
_.compactUnderscore.js
\_.compact([0, 1, false, 2, '', 3]);
=> [1, 2, 3]

Backtick Code Block

This is identical to using a code block, but instead uses three backticks to delimit the block.

`` [language] [title] [url] [link text] code snippet ``
