assets/less directory? about minimal-mistakes

Oops. I forgot to update the documentation when I upgraded the theme to support Jekyll 2.

The theme is no longer using .less files for the stylesheets when I converted them to Sass since Jekyll added native support. If you want to modify the look and feel of the Pygments syntax highlighting the file pygments.scss is located in the _sass folder with all the other partials.

Just make your edits and Jekyll will compile it for you. No need for the Grunt task I mentioned in the old docs.

Otherwise you don't have to do anything but make sure the Pygments.rb gem installs properly with Jekyll. The Jekyll docs on their site have more info on getting started with Pygments.

Thanks!

However, I'm still missing something. I have installed pygments.rb, and I'm using fenced codeblocks in markdown like this:

import fna 
## scrape the Eriphorum pages from the site
eriophorum = fna.scrapeTaxon("Eriophorum")

The code blocks show up in

 blocks, but they have no syntax highlighting. Do I need to 'turn it on' in the code block header?

Fenced codeblocks won't invoke Pygments styled syntax highlighting.

To get the "pretty" Pygments highlighting you need to wrap your code in dedicated Liquid tags. Check out the official Jekyll docs, they explain exactly how to do it.

{% highlight %}
your code
{% endhighlight %}

Got it now, thanks again!
