Pages

A page is any file found in the source directory that:

• Has an extension in template_extensions
• isn't hidden (leading . or _)
• isn't excluded through ignore

Pages go through several transformations:

1. Evaluate Liquid template expressions.
2. (If .md extension) Convert Markdown to HTML.
3. Wrap the content in a Liquid layout.
4. Write the results to a parallel location in the destination, but with an .html extension.

You can customize this behavior with the frontmatter.

Syntax Highlighting

You can highlight your code using the {% highlight LANG %} / {% endhighlight %} Liquid tags.

Alternatively, if you are using Markdown, you can annotate your code blocks.

To see what syntaxes are supported:

$ cobalt debug highlight syntaxes

The theme is taken from your _cobalt.yml. To see the list of supported themes:
