jekyll_random_hex
is a Jekyll tag plugin that outputs a string of random hexadecimal characters of any length.
Defaults to a six-character string.
Example: Generate 6 random characters:
{{ random_hex_string }}
Example: generate 20 random characters. Each hex digit expands to 2 characters, so 10 hex digits yields 20 characters.
{{ random_hex_string 10 }}
