This post demonstrate how to use feature images on your posts.

Just add:

image:
  feature: filename.png

where filename.png is an image inside

1
images
folder. This image will be displayed on the top of your post.

Warning! The image height is not limited. The image width will be adjusted to fit on the post container, make sure to not use images with a high height.

This is a sample post to show the dark post theme. To use this dark theme, just add:

layout: dark-post

on your post. This theme adds a dark background with a white panel to show your content.

Here be a sample post with a custom background image. To utilize this “feature” just add the following YAML to a post’s front matter.

image:
  background: filename.png

This little bit of YAML makes the assumption that your background image asset is in the

1
/images
folder. If you place it somewhere else or are hotlinking from the web, just include the full http(s):// URL. Either way you should have a background image that is tiled.

If you want to set a background image for the entire site just add

1
background: filename.png
to your
1
_config.yml
and BOOM — background images on every page!

Syntax highlighting is a feature that displays source code, in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms. This feature facilitates writing in a structured language such as a programming language or a markup language as both structures and syntax errors are visually distinct. Highlighting does not affect the meaning of the text itself; it is intended only for human readers.1
