Templates Directory
The templates directory is used for storing template files that define the structure and layout of different types of pages or components in a Jekyll project.
-
HTML Templates: Contains HTML files that serve as templates for various parts of the site, such as blog post layouts, header and footer layouts, or custom page designs.
-
Include Files: May include smaller reusable components (similar to those in
_includes), like navigation bars, breadcrumb trails, or social media link templates. -
Markdown Templates: For content-heavy sites, Markdown templates with predefined structure for blog posts, news articles, or documentation pages.
-
Consistency: Maintain a consistent structure across templates for a cohesive look and feel.
-
Commented Code: Comment sections of the templates to describe their purpose, especially for complex layouts.
-
Front Matter Defaults: Use Jekyll's front matter defaults to apply template layouts automatically to specific types of pages or posts.
-
Responsive Design: Ensure that templates are designed with responsiveness in mind, adapting to different screen sizes and devices.
A basic HTML template for a blog post might look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Head elements here -->
</head>
<body>
{% include header.html %}
<article>
<!-- Article content here -->
</article>
{% include footer.html %}
</body>
</html>This template could be used as a starting point for creating individual blog post pages.
