Are there short-codes in Jekyll?

There are several ways to achieve this:

Use Jekyll _includes along with parameters. Simple example would be to style an alert block.

<!-- /_includes/alert.html -->

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
  {{ include.content }}
</div>

And you’d use it in your content like so:


Some content here.

{% include alert.html content="Your alert text" %}

Some more content.

Write a custom Jekyll tag (aka a plugin). This would be similar to the include method above but you you’d have something like:

{% alert %}
Your alert content here.
{% endalert %}

Or you can Augment Kramdown written Markdown with selectors to apply CSS classes to a block of text styling it however you need.

Your alert text
{: .alert .alert-info}
