Frontmatter Options

Header

Use the cover header for pages that have a cover image:

cover_header: true

An above header is just like a cover header, but ditches the subtle gradient:

above_header: true

Set a background color for the header. Not recommended to combine with cover header or above header since it will cover up content:

header_background: "#fafaf7"

Use the light version of the logo. Useful when using a darker background color:

light_logo: true

Blog Helpers

Videos

Use the vimeo or youtube helpers to embed videos. Each helper takes a video ID as the first argument, and an optional caption as the second.

vimeo(id, caption)

youtube(id, caption)

Examples:

<%= vimeo "13336009" %>

<%= youtube "G4-Wo8lWngc", "An optional caption." %>

Images

To include a full-width image which stretches past the edge of the page gutters, use the stretch_image helper.

The helper takes a path to the image, an optional alt tag, and an optional caption:

stretch_image(path, alt, caption)

Example:

<%= stretch_image "blog/blog-title/image-name.jpg", "An Alt for the Image", "A caption with #{link_to 'a link', '/blog'}." %>

Pull Quotes

This helper takes a quote (plain text) and an optional author:

pullquote(text, author)

Examples:

<%= pullquote "Some text to quote" %>

<%= pullquote "Some text to quote", "Barack Obama" %>

Gists / Code

Embed a GitHub Gist by passing the gist helper a Gist ID:

gist(id)

Example:

<%= gist "f3be83a2cabf9e1061fc" %>

Tweets

Embed a tweet by passing the tweet helper a tweet/status ID:

tweet(id)

Example:

<%= tweet "504323875963170817" %>
