When blogging with Jekyll there are times when you want to be able to output a code snippet that contains what Jekyll thinks is liquid code. This especially happens when you are doing Angular tutorials since using the double brackets ({{ }}) for data binding. Since the code snippets are enclosed in a pre tag, you are not able to html encode the brackets. Instead, to include liquid markup in the code snippet you need to surround the code snippet with the raw and endraw tags like so
As I was writing some tutorials recently I wanted to be able to style the html elements that Jekyll outputs with different css classes without having to write the actually html in the markdown. For example I wanted to use a blockquote for items to be aware of that has a blue highlight as well as warnings to watch out for that has a red highlight. Here is the output of the blockquote with the different styles.
When you are writing tutorials that are broken up by sections it is nice to have a table of contents at the top to help the users navigate. However, maintaining this by hand is a no go. Luckily there is a great npm package called doctoc that will look at the headings in your markdown file and generated a table of contents for you. Table of Contents Sample Using This Post
I rarely use my Dell tablet and when I went to use it again I couldn’t remember the lock pattern. No problem I thought I will just reset it but I had since changed or my router and the tablet wasn’t able to connect to the Internet.

Welcome the continuing series on using Jekyll. In this tutorial we are going to go through how you can validate your link and image references. As your blog grows and you get more posts, it becomes harder to validate images and links are still valid on older post. On new post it is pretty easy since you only have one last to look for. However, this is a process that can be fully automated so got don’t even have to worry about it anymore.

At the HolidayJs event I won a book and I picked a copy of Angular In Action by Lukas Ruebbelke. I had already been using Angular for a few projects and wasn’t expecting to get much out of the book. Honestly I got it to use as more of a give away at one of my talks but figured I would at least glance through a few chapters of it first.
Today I ran into an issue using Ionic, where I was trying to put two icons on the right side of an ion list item. There is really easy to do with the item-icon-right css class.
