Jekyll Layouts

Multiple layouts support for your Jekyll site, output multiple format files with individual layouts for each page, post, or collection.

Add the following to your site's Gemfile

gem 'jekyll-layouts'

And add the following to your site's _config.yml

gems:
  - jekyll-layouts

In any page, post, or collection, use layouts and a extension: layout value, e.g.

---
layouts:
  json: json-post-layout
  md: markdown-post-layout
---

Note: Jekyll Layouts creates additional pages using the provided extensions and layouts, it does not modify the original page.

Add the following to your yaml front-matter configuration:

---
layouts:
  json:
    layout: json-post-layout
    converter: Default
  md:
    layout: markdown-post-layout
    converter: Default
  pdf:
    converter: PhantomPDF
---

If you are using the default liquid converter, you can use this shorthand:

---
layouts:
  json: json-post-layout
  md: markdown-post-layout
---

An example of using a markdown filter for all posts using jekyll-layouts:

gems:
  - jekyll-layouts

defaults:
  - scope:
      path: ""
      type: posts
    values:
      layouts:
        json: json-post-layout
        md: markdown-post-layout

_layouts/markdown-post-layout.md

# {{ page.title }}

Published: {{ page.date }}
Author: {{ page.author }}
Source: {{ page.layouts.md.url }}

---

{{ content | strip_html }}

_layouts/json-post-layout.json

{{ page | jsonify }}

Your posts will now have markdown and json format endpoints using separate layouts.
