== Preface Jekyll was born out the desire to create a blog engine that would make it possible to write posts in my local text editor, version those posts with Git, and keep up with my desire to tweak the styles and layout of my site. In other words, I wanted something that fit into my existing software development workflow and toolchain. Jekyll handles not only this case, but a wide variety of other situations that call for static site generation based on converted content and layout templates. At its core, Jekyll is a text transformation engine. The concept behind the system is this: you give it text written in your favorite markup language, be that Markdown, Textile, or just plain HTML, and it churns that through a layout or series of layout files. Throughout that process you can tweak how you want the site URLs to look, what data gets displayed on the layout and much more. If you're looking for a simple, yet powerful solution to your blogging or static site needs, Jekyll may be just what you've been looking for. === What this book covers _Chapter 1, Quick Start_ covers installation, introduces the Jekyll command line interface, and runs through a quick example demonstrating the site generator, post generator and how to convert your Jekyll site into a static site. _Chapter 2, Directory Layout_ covers the various files and directories that comprise a Jekyll site. _Chapter 3, Tags and Filters_ _Chapter X, Deploying your Jekyll Site_ _Chapter X, Customizing Jekyll with Plugins_ _Chapter X, Migrating to Jekyll from your Existing Blog_ _Chapter X, Configuration Reference_
