The best way to collect debugging information is to build the site locally. However if that isn’t an option, this page documents tags which can be helpful.

Echo

This echo include just prints its arguments, for debugging/learning purposes. This can be helpful in understanding Liquid syntax and how strings are being read internally by an include.

Arguments are printed as a comma-separated list of "argument"==>"value" pairs.

Note that liquid allows the passing of arbitrary arguments to include templates. All these arguments will be stored, but won’t have any effect unless the include’s source actually does something with those arguments.

{% include echo content="This is the content argument" bracket="what if I pass {}?" gorilla="Why do we have a gorilla argument?" %}

{"content"=>"This is the content argument", "bracket"=>"what if I pass {}?", "gorilla"=>"Why do we have a gorilla argument?"}

What’s in a page?

Ever wonder what all is part of the page data structure? Let’s find out!

(You can also do this with the site data structure, but be warned: the output will include every page body across the whole site!)

{% include echo p=page %}

{"p"=>{ "path": "_pages/editing/debugging.md", "relative_path": "_pages/editing/debugging.md", "excerpt": "

The best way to collect debugging information is to <a href=\"/editing/advanced\">build the site locally</a>. However if that isn’t an option, this page documents tags which can be helpful.

This page describes nice ways of embedding source code in a page.

This page demonstrates how to add a citation to your page.

Citations

Page contents

This page demonstrates how to add a citation to your page.

<code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">include citation</code> allows you to create a single-use citation, or footnote.

This include creates a citation given the following inputs:\nauthor (all authors of the publication, this input will be presented as entered):

\ntitle title of the publication
\nurl url link to location the publication is hosted
\nyear year of publication
\njournal name of the publishing journal
\nvolume volume of the publishing journal
\nnumber issuing number of the publishing journal
\npages page numbers that the publication appears in publishing journal
\ndoi digital object identifier
\nfn foot note number

The following liquid code:

produces:

Albert Cardona, Stephan Saalfeld, Johannes Schindelin, Ignacio Arganda-Carreras, Stephan Preibisch, Mark Longair, Pavel Tomancak, Volker Hartenstein and Rodney J. Douglas (2012), “<a href=\"http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038011\">TrakEM2 software for neural circuit reconstruction</a>”, PLoS ONE , doi:<a href=\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0038011\">10.1371/journal.pone.0038011</a>.

Use the <a href=\"https://kramdown.gettalong.org/quickref.html#footnotes\">kramdown syntax</a> in your document to refer to footnotes by number.

NB: regardless of where the liquid reference appears in your document, footnote text will always be at the bottom.

Specify the footnote number in the <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">include</code>.

The following markdown and liquid code:

Source Code

Page contents

This page describes nice ways of embedding source code in a page.

If you just want to write a short snippet of code as part of a sentence,\nsurround the code in backtick symbols (`).

<code class=\"language-liquid\" data-lang=\"liquid\">Type `print('Hello world!')` and save as `hello.py`.</code>

A “code fence” is three backtick symbols (```) preceding your\ncode, and another three concluding it. Optionally, you can write the name of\nthe language in small case next to the leading fence to declare syntax\nhighlighting is desired with the stated language.

<code class=\"language-liquid\" data-lang=\"liquid\">```java\nImage3DUniverse univ = new Image3DUniverse();\nuniv.show();\nuniv.addMesh(yourImagePlus, null, \"somename\", 50,\n  new boolean[] {true, true, true}, 2);\n```</code>

<code class=\"language-liquid\" data-lang=\"liquid\">```python\ndef update_progress(progress):\n    barLength = 10 # length of progress bar\n    block = int(round(barLength*progress))\n    text = f'\\rPercent complete: ' +\n      f'[{\"#\"*block + \"-\"*(barLength-block)}] ' +\n      f'{progress*100}%'\n    sys.stdout.write(text)\n    sys.stdout.flush()\n```</code>

Alternately, there is a <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">highlight</code> Liquid directive you can try.\nIt looks like this:

<code class=\"language-liquid\" data-lang=\"liquid\"><span class=\"p\">{%</span><span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"nt\">highlight</span><span class=\"w\"> </span>java<span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"p\">%}</span>\nlog.info(\"You're a wizard, Harry!\");\nlog.error(\"I'm a what?\");\n<span class=\"p\">{%</span><span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"nt\">endhighlight</span><span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"p\">%}</span></code>

<code class=\"language-java\" data-lang=\"java\"><span class=\"n\">log</span><span class=\"o\">.</span><span class=\"na\">info</span><span class=\"o\">(</span><span class=\"s\">\"You're a wizard, Harry!\"</span><span class=\"o\">);</span>\n<span class=\"n\">log</span><span class=\"o\">.</span><span class=\"na\">error</span><span class=\"o\">(</span><span class=\"s\">\"I'm a what?\"</span><span class=\"o\">);</span></code>

The <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">highlight</code> directive and code fences are separate features, but\nfunctionally very similar. If code fences are not working as you like,\ngive the <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">highlight</code> directive a try to see if it does any better.

If you have a block of code in a GitHub repository, you can embed it\ndynamically into the page using the <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">github-embed</code> include. This approach has\nthe advantage of avoiding copy-paste skew as the code evolves over time.

<code class=\"language-liquid\" data-lang=\"liquid\"><span class=\"p\">{%</span><span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"nt\">include</span><span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"nv\">github-embed</span><span class=\"err\">\n</span><span class=\"w\">     </span><span class=\"na\">org</span><span class=\"o\">=</span><span class=\"s2\">\"duckythescientist\"</span><span class=\"err\">\n</span><span class=\"w\">     </span><span class=\"na\">repo</span><span class=\"o\">=</span><span class=\"s2\">\"obfuscatedLife\"</span><span class=\"err\">\n</span><span class=\"w\">     </span><span class=\"na\">branch</span><span class=\"o\">=</span><span class=\"s2\">\"original\"</span><span class=\"err\">\n</span><span class=\"w\">     </span><span class=\"na\">path</span><span class=\"o\">=</span><span class=\"s2\">\"life.c\"</span><span class=\"err\">\n</span><span class=\"w\">     </span><span class=\"na\">label</span><span class=\"o\">=</span><span class=\"s2\">\"Conway's Obfuscated Game of Life\"</span><span class=\"w\"> </span><span class=\"p\">%}</span></code>

Other parameters supported by the <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">github-embed</code> include are:
