I am trying to make a website using Jekyll as a local test for github-pages. I wrote like the following within my _layouts/default.html, but it seemed that ‘{{ category.name }}’ in the if statement was not recognized as a variable. Can’t we use variables in condition in Jekyll?
{% for category in site.categories %}
{% if page.dir contains ‘{{ category.name }}’ %}
<a href="{{ category.url }}">
{{ category.name }}
</a>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I referred to these manual:
You do not need to put a variable inside double curly braces when evaluating a expression in tags. You simply need to do:
{% if page.dir contains category.name %}
