Why they are all lowercase.

How can I make them into Uppercase, since my direct

Answer 1

The following is my setup.

ruby 2.1.1p76
jekyll 1.0.2

I have the same problem, and eventually modified the following source file of jekyll. (I use "rvm")

# vim /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1/gems/jekyll-1.0.2/lib/jekyll/post.rb

I removed the downcase method.

# diff post.rb.org post.rb
79c79
< self.categories = self.data.pluralized_array('category', 'categories').map {|c| c.to_s.downcase}
---
> self.categories = self.data.pluralized_array('category', 'categories').map {|c| c.to_s}

Answer 2

making it lowercase makes it easier for Jekyll to parse and handle the project.

I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Is Jekyll's lower-casing of the category names hurting your site performance or causing you any trouble?
2. Or do you want it for the aesthetics only?

If its the latter, the solution is to capitalize it back again.

{% for tag in page.categories %}
<a href="{{ site.url }}/categories/index.html#{{ page.categories | cgi_encode }}" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Other posts from the {{ tag | capitalize }} category" rel="tag">{{ tag | capitalize }}</a>
{% unless forloop.last %}&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;
{% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
