Displaying tags in posts?

[dnaeon]

Pretty new to Jekyll and Github pages, but after looking around for how to add tags in posts it appears that I should be using tags in the post front matter, similar to this:

layout: post
title: My Title Goes Here
tags: tag1 tag2 tag3

However doing that in Jekyll Now doesn't seem to display the tags.

How can I display the tags a post has or create a block of tags used in the blog site, which would allow easier user navigation?

Thanks,
Marin

You may take a look at my pull request or at my fork of this repository where I implemented a full tag system where all you have to do is exactly what you just did, then the tags will show and will auto-generate pages for every tag.

@Theby Would your PR work with Github Pages, because AFAIK Github Pages does not run any Ruby code from plugins?

[Theby]

It does work, in fact I'm actually using it in my github page www.spoonmangames.cl.
As far as I have read in http://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/ you need to generate the pages and links before publishing and the tag plugin that I used does just that. You can see that it works by looking at my blog (sorry it's in spanish but you can click the blog tab, there are a few post)

I checked and you were rigth, I didn't test it live, but what you can do is use the plugin and then copy the _site/tag/ folder outside of _site, everything should work then

@Theby generating the tags upfront and moving _site/tag in the root folder works fine, thanks for that!

However I've noticed when tag index pages are generated the markdown text is not rendered in the resulting pages. Have an idea about this issue?

Here's an example of what I'm referring to:

As you can see the Markdown text is not rendered when displaying "tag index" pages.

I'm gonna check on that, It's happening to me too.

A couple of other folks have implemented tags in the past. Check 'em out:

• add tags to posts #130
• Added filterable tags to Jekyll Now.  #186
