Listing tags and categories with Jekyll

20 Mar 2016 | tags: Jekyll

Since Jekyll supports site.tags and site.categories it would very simple to have a page to list all the tags and which posts do contain that tag.

I’ve created a new page tags/index.html using the default layout and using some code to list the tags:

---
layout: default
title: Tags
---

{% for tag in site.tags %}
  {% assign t = tag | first %}
  {% assign posts = tag | last %}

{{ t | downcase }}
<ul>
{% for post in posts %}
  {% if post.tags contains t %}
  <li>
    <a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
    <span class="date">{{ post.date | date: "%B %-d, %Y"  }}</span>
  </li>
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
