{% endfor %}You’ve successfully set up and deployed an Jekyll website powered by Asciidoc using the Asciidoc-Jekyll-Quickstart project. If everything is in order then changes to the Asciidoc content will be automatically published to your gh_pages branch and hosted via Jekyll and Github.
Now that you’ve set up your website to run with Asciidoc you have a ton of options available to you.
Editing content is very simple. The easiest way to update your blog is to clone your repository, fire up your favorite text editor and run the content locally. To do this run the jekyll serve command and open a web browser to http://localhost:4000. Jekyll will automatically process and host changes to the content.
You may also edit your content directly on Github. To do this, navigate the browser the file you wish to edit, click the pensil (edit) button in the upper right hand corner of the view and make your changes. When you’re finished, commit your changes. This will trigger Travis to generate and publish a new website including your changes.
For blog posts, Jekyll will recognize files under the _post directory, parse the name and place it in the list of posts. These will show up under the site.posts variable.
To display a list of posts, use Jekyll syntax similar to the following:
{% for post in site.posts limit: 5 %}
<a href=".{{ post.url }}">{{ post.shortTitle }}</a>
{% endfor %}The layout provided with the Jekyll-Asciidoc Quickstart project is based on Foundation, a responsive design css framework. You’re free to update the layout by editing the _layouts/default.html file and css under the css directory.
This blog layout is based on the Blog template.
