A Lean Setup for Demoing on an iPad
This week, we take a look into the inner workings of Jekyll as a platform for building a blog deployed via GitHub, all controlled via an iPad. Let's see how this goes...
You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
Here is a block quote that is quite long and may break onto a few lines on mobile
To add new posts, simply add a file in the _posts directory that follows the convention YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext and includes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
| Tables | Are | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool | Cool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 |
Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:
def print_hi(name)
puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
