How to pass {

Question

I am trying to rebuild a blog in Jekyll and I have stubled upon a simple task.

Provided I have the following set of templates:

default.html:

Answer 1

You can't do this with a capture, but you can using an include. Every level of the page hierarchy can override the head key to point to a different include file as required. This example wraps the include with a condition so if no head key is specified the page will still generate.

default.html

{% if page.head %}
  {% include {{ page.head }} %}
{% endif %}

{{ content }}

frontpage.html

---
layout: default
head: header1.html
---

{{ content }}

_includes/header1.html

(Frontpage header content)
