+h1. Jekyll 
+
+Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template
+directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through Textile or
+Markdown and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website
+suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server. Visit
+"http://tom.preston-werner.com":http://tom.preston-werner.com to see an
+example of a Jekyll generated blog.
+
+To understand how this all works, open up my
+"TPW":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw repo in a new browser window. I'll be
+referencing the code there.
+
+Take a look at
+"index.html":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/index.html. This file
+represents the homepage of the site. At the top of the file is a chunk of YAML
+that contains metadata about the file. This data tells Jekyll what layout to
+give the file, what the page's title should be, etc. In this case, I specify
+that the "default" template should be used. You can find the layout files in
+the "_layouts":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/_layouts directory.
+If you open
+"default.html":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/_layouts/default.html
+you can see that the homepage is constructed by wrapping index.html with this
+layout.
+
+You'll also notice Liquid templating code in these files.
+"Liquid":http://www.liquidmarkup.org/ is a simple, extensible templating
+language that makes it easy to embed data in your templates. For my homepage I
+wanted to have a list of all my blog posts. Jekyll hands me a Hash containing
+various data about my site. A reverse chronological list of all my blog posts
+can be found in <code>site.posts</code>. Each post, in turn, contains various
+fields such as <code>title</code> and <code>date</code>.
+
+Jekyll gets the list of blog posts by parsing the files in any
+"_posts":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/_posts directory found in
+subdirectories below the root. 
+Each post's filename contains (by default) the publishing date and slug (what shows up in the
+URL) that the final HTML file should have. Open up the file corresponding to a
+blog post:
+"2008-11-17-blogging-like-a-hacker.textile":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/_posts/2008-11-17-blogging-like-a-hacker.textile.
+GitHub renders textile files by default, so to better understand the file,
+click on the
+"raw":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/_posts/2008-11-17-blogging-like-a-hacker.textile?raw=true
+view to see the original file. Here I've specified the <code>post</code>
+layout. If you look at that file you'll see an example of a nested layout.
+Layouts can contain other layouts allowing you a great deal of flexibility in
+how pages are assembled. In my case I use a nested layout in order to show
+related posts for each blog entry. The YAML also specifies the post's title
+which is then embedded in the post's body via Liquid.
+
+Posts are handled in a special way by Jekyll. The date you specify in the
+filename is used to construct the URL in the generated site. The example post,
+for instance, ends up at
+<code>http://tom.preston-werner.com/2008/11/17/blogging-like-a-hacker.html</code>.
+
+Categories for posts are derived from the directory structure the posts were
+found within. A post that appears in the directory foo/bar/_posts is placed in
+the categories 'foo' and 'bar'. By selecting posts from particular categories
+in your Liquid templates, you will be able to host multiple blogs within a
+site.
+
+Files that do not reside in directories prefixed with an underscore are
+mirrored into a corresponding directory structure in the generated site. If a
+file does not have a YAML preface, it is not run through the Liquid
+interpreter. Binary files are copied over unmodified.
+
+Jekyll is still a very young project. I've only developed the exact
+functionality that I've needed. As time goes on I'd like to see the project
+mature and support additional features. If you end up using Jekyll for your
+own blog, drop me a line and let me know what you'd like to see in future
+versions. Better yet, fork the project over at GitHub and hack in the features
+yourself!
+
+h2. Example Proto-Site
+
+My own personal site/blog is generated with Jekyll.
+
+The proto-site repo
+("http://github.com/mojombo/tpw":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw) is converted
+into the actual site
+("http://tom.preston-werner.com/":http://tom.preston-werner.com)
+
+h2. Install
+
+The best way to install Jekyll is via RubyGems:
+
+  $ sudo gem install jsjohnst-jekyll -s http://gems.github.com/
+
+Jekyll requires the gems `directory_watcher`, `liquid`, `open4`, `RedCloth`
+`redgreen` and `maruku` (for markdown support). These are automatically
+installed by the gem install command.
+
+Maruku comes with optional support for LaTeX to PNG rendering via
+"blahtex":http://gva.noekeon.org/blahtexml/ (Version 0.6) which must be in
+your $PATH along with `dvips`. 
+
+(NOTE: the version of maruku I am using is `remi-maruku` on GitHub as it
+does not assume a fixed location for `dvips`.)
+
+h2. Run
+
+  $ cd /path/to/proto/site
+  $ jekyll
+
+This will generate the site and place it in /path/to/proto/site/_site. If
+you'd like the generated site placed somewhere else:
+
+  $ jekyll /path/to/place/generated/site
+
+And if you don't want to be in the proto site root to run Jekyll:
+
+  $ jekyll /path/to/proto/site /path/to/place/generated/site
+
+h2. Run Options
+
+There is an autobuild feature that will regenerate your site if any of the
+files change. The autobuild feature can be used on any of the invocations:
+
+  $ jekyll --auto
+
+By default, the "related posts" functionality will produce crappy results.
+In order to get high quality results with a true LSI algorithm, you must
+enable it (it may take some time to run if you have many posts):
+
+  $ jekyll --lsi
+
+For static code highlighting, you can install Pygments (see below) and then
+use that to make your code blocks look pretty. To activate Pygments support
+during the conversion:
+
+  $ jekyll --pygments
+
+By default, Jekyll uses "Maruku":http://maruku.rubyforge.org (pure Ruby) for
+Markdown support. If you'd like to use RDiscount (faster, but requires
+compilation), you must install it (gem install rdiscount) and then you can
+have it used instead:
+
+  $ jekyll --rdiscount
+
+As another alternative, just because to make it a hat trick, you can also
+use BlueCloth (gem install bluecloth).
+
+  $ jekyll --bluecloth
+  
+When previewing complex sites locally, simply opening the site in a web 
+browser (using file://) can cause problems with links that are relative to
+the site root (e.g., "/stylesheets/style.css"). To get around this, Jekyll
+can launch a simple WEBrick server (works well in conjunction with --auto).
+Default port is 4000:
+
+  $ jekyll --server [PORT]
+
+By default, the permalink for each post begins with its date in 'YYYY/MM/DD'
+format. The default is to use <code>slug/index.html</code> style URLs (<code>pretty</code>) but if you
+would prefer having <code>slug.html</code> then pass <code>date</code> as the option.
+If you do not wish to have the date appear in the URL of each post, 
+you can change the permalink style to 'none' so that only the 'slug' part of
+the filename is used. For example, with the permalink style set to 'none' the
+file '2009-01-01-happy-new-year.markdown' will have a permalink like
+'http://yoursite.com/happy-new-year.html'. The date of the post will still be
+read from the filename (and is required!) to be used elsewhere in Jekyll.
+Also supported is the permalink format <code>shortdate</code>, which will use the YYYY/M/D
+for days and months < 10. You can also choose <code>month</code> to just include
+month and year or <code>year</code> to only include the year.
+Example usage:
+
+  $ jekyll --permalink none
+
+h2. Ignoring Files
+
+Often your project will include files which you do not wish Jekyll to process
+or make available in the generated site. For example, a README, a TODO file, or
+a Capfile. Whilst Jekyll will always ignore files with names that begin with a
+period . (except .htaccess) or an underscore (except _posts) you may specify
+more files which should be ignored with the use of a .jekyllignore file.
+
+A .jekyllignore file may be placed in the root of your project and should
+simply contain Ruby compatible regular expressions (one per line) identifying
+files to ignore. A typical .jekyllignore file might contain the following:
+<pre>
+  <code>
+    ^README$
+    ^TODO$
+    ^Capfile$
+    ^config(/*)?$
+  </code>
+</pre>
+
+Note that Jekyll no longer automatically ignores files with names terminating
+with a tilde ~. Instead you must explicitly specify that such backup files be
+ignored with an entry in your .jekyllignore like:
+<pre>
+  <code>
+    ^.*~$
+  </code>
+</pre>
+or for Emacs users:
+<pre>
+  <code>
+    ^#.*#$
+  </code>
+</pre>
+
+h2. Data
+
+Jekyll traverses your site looking for files to process. Any files with YAML
+front matter (see below) are subject to processing. For each of these files,
+Jekyll makes a variety of data available to the pages via the Liquid
+templating system. The following is a reference of the available data.
+
+h3. Global
+
+  site
+    Sitewide information.
+
+  page
+    For Posts, this is the union of the data in the YAML front matter and the
+    computed data (such as URL and date). For regular pages, this is just the
+    YAML front matter.
+
+  content
+    In layout files, this contains the content of the subview(s). In Posts or
+    Pages, this is undefined.
+
+h3. Site
+
+  site.time
+    The current Time (when you run the jekyll command).
+
+  site.posts
+    A reverse chronological list of all Posts.
+
+  site.related_posts
+    If the page being processed is a Post, this contains a list of up to ten
+    related Posts. By default, these are low quality but fast to compute. For
+    high quality but slow to compute results, run the jekyll command with the 
+    --lsi (latent semantic indexing) option.
+
+  site.categories.CATEGORY
+    The list of all Posts in category CATEGORY.
+
+h3. Post
+
+  post.title
+    The title of the Post.
+
+  post.url
+    The URL of the Post without the domain.
+    e.g. /2008/12/14/my-post.html
+
+  post.date
+    The Date assigned to the Post.
+
+  post.id
+    An identifier unique to the Post (useful in RSS feeds).
+    e.g. /2008/12/14/my-post
+
+  post.categories
+    The list of categories to which this post belongs. Categories are
+    derived from the directory structure above the _posts directory. For
+    example, a post at /work/code/_posts/2008-12-24-closures.textile
+    would have this field set to ['work', 'code'].
+
+  post.topics
+    The list of topics for this Post. Topics are derived from the directory
+    structure beneath the _posts directory. For example, a post at
+    /_posts/music/metal/2008-12-24-metalocalypse.textile would have this field
+    set to ['music', 'metal'].
+
+  post.content
+    The content of the Post.
+
+	post.folded
+		A boolean value which is True if the post contains an HR tag. Authors can use this
+		to break up certain posts so that the full text is displayed only on the full post 
+		page. The first-encountered HR is used as the fold marker.
+
+h2. YAML Front Matter
+
+Any files that contain a YAML front matter block will be processed by Jekyll
+as special files. The front matter must be the first thing in the file and
+takes the form of:
+
+<pre>
+---
+layout: post
+title: Blogging Like a Hacker
+---
+</pre>
+
+Between the triple-dashed lines, you can set predefined variables (see below
+for a reference) or custom data of your own.
+
+h3. Predefined Global Variables
+
+  layout
+    If set, this specifies the layout file to use. Use the layout file
+    name without file extension. Layout files must be placed in the
+    <code>_layouts</code> directory.
+
+h3. Predefined Post Variables
+
+  permalink
+    If you need your processed URLs to be something other than the default
+    /year/month/day/title.html then you can set this variable and it will
+    be used as the final URL.
+
+  published
+    Set to false if you don't want a post to show up when the site is 
+    generated.
+
+  category/categories
+    Instead of placing posts inside of folders, you can specify one or more
+    categories that the post belongs to. When the site is generated the post
+    will act as though it had been set with these categories normally.
+
+h3. Custom Variables
+
+Any variables in the front matter that are not predefined are mixed into the
+data that is sent to the Liquid templating engine during the conversion. For
+instance, if you set a <code>title</code>, you can use that in your layout to
+set the page title:
+
+<pre>
+<title>{{ page.title }}</title>
+</pre>
+
+h2. Filters, Tags, and Blocks
+
+In addition to the built-in Liquid filters, tags, and blocks, Jekyll provides
+some additional items that you can use in your site.
+
+h3. Date to XML Schema (Filter)
+
+Convert a Time into XML Schema format.
+
+  {{ site.time | date_to_xmlschema }}
+
+becomes
+
+  2008-11-17T13:07:54-08:00
+
+h3. XML Escape (Filter)
+
+Escape some text for use in XML.
+
+  {{ post.content | xml_escape }}
+
+h3. Number of Words (Filter)
+
+Count the number of words in some text.
+
+  {{ post.content | number_of_words }}
+
+becomes
+
+  1337
+
+h3. Array to Sentence String
+
+Convert an array into a sentence.
+
+  {{ page.tags | array_to_sentence_string }}
+
+becomes
+
+  foo, bar, and baz
+  
+h3. Textilize
+
+Convert a Textile-formatted string into HTML, formatted via RedCloth
+
+  {{ page.excerpt | textilize }}
+
+h3. Post folding
+
+Displays all text in the given Post before the first-encountered HR tag.
+
+	{{ page.content | before_fold }}
+
+h3. Include (Tag)
+
+If you have small page fragments that you wish to include in multiple places
+on your site, you can use the <code>include</code> tag.
+
+<pre>{% include sig.textile %}</pre>
+
+Jekyll expects all include files to be placed in an <code>_includes</code>
+directory at the root of your source dir. So this will embed the contents of
+<code>/path/to/proto/site/_includes/sig.textile</code> into the calling file.
+
+An alternate syntax which supports using page variables is the following:
+
+<pre>{% include from page.includefile %}</pre>
+
+which allows you to pass in the name of the file to include from a YAML front matter block.
+
+This means if <code>{{ page.includefile }}</code> outputs <code>flickr.html</code> then
+the above include would load <code>_includes/flickr.html</code>.
+
+h3. Code Highlighting (Block)
+
+Jekyll has built in support for syntax highlighting of over "100
+languages":http://pygments.org/languages/ via "Pygments":http://pygments.org/.
+In order to take advantage of this you'll need to have Pygments installed, and
+the pygmentize binary must be in your path. When you run Jekyll, make sure you
+run it with Pygments support:
+
+  $ jekyll --pygments
+
+To denote a code block that should be highlighted:
+
+<pre>
+{% highlight ruby %}
+def foo
+  puts 'foo'
+end
+{% endhighlight %}
+</pre>
+
+The argument to <code>highlight</code> is the language identifier. To find the
+appropriate identifier to use for your favorite language, look for the "short
+name" on the "Lexers":http://pygments.org/docs/lexers/ page.
+
+There is a second argument to <code>highlight</code> called
+<code>linenos</code> that is optional. Including the <code>linenos</code>
+argument will force the highlighted code to include line numbers. For
+instance, the following code block would include line numbers next to each
+line:
+
+<pre>
+{% highlight ruby linenos %}
+def foo
+  puts 'foo'
+end
+{% endhighlight %}
+</pre>
+
+In order for the highlighting to show up, you'll need to include a
+highlighting stylesheet. For an example stylesheet you can look at
+"syntax.css":http://github.com/mojombo/tpw/tree/master/css/syntax.css. These
+are the same styles as used by GitHub and you are free to use them for your
+own site. If you use linenos, you might want to include an additional CSS
+class definition for <code>lineno</code> in syntax.css to distinguish the line
+numbers from the highlighted code.
+
+h2. Categories
+
+Posts are placed into categories based on the directory structure they are
+found within (see above for an example). The categories can be accessed from
+within a Liquid template as follows:
+
+<pre>
+{% for post in site.categories.foo %}
+  <li><span>{{ post.date | date_to_string }}</span> - {{ post.title }}</li>
+{% endfor %}
+</pre>
+
+This would list all the posts in the category 'foo' by date and title.
+
+The posts within each category are sorted in reverse chronological order.
+
+h2. Blog migrations
+
+h3. Movable Type
+
+To migrate your MT blog into Jekyll, you'll need read access to the database.
+The lib/jekyll/converters/mt.rb module provides a simple convert to create
+.markdown files in a _posts directory based on the entries contained therein.
+
+  $ export DB=my_mtdb
+  $ export USER=dbuser
+  $ export PASS=dbpass
+  $ ruby -r './lib/jekyll/converters/mt' -e 'Jekyll::MT.process( \
+    "#{ENV["DB"]}", "#{ENV["USER"]}", "#{ENV["PASS"]}")'
+
+You may need to adjust the SQL query used to retrieve MT entries. Left alone,
+it will attempt to pull all entries across all blogs regardless of status.
+Please check the results and verify the posts before publishing.
+
+h3. Typo 4+
+
+To migrate your Typo blog into Jekyll, you'll need read access to the MySQL
+database. The lib/jekyll/converters/typo.rb module provides a simple convert 
+to create .html, .textile, or .markdown files in a _posts directory based on 
+the entries contained therein.
+
+  $ export DB=my_typo_db
+  $ export USER=dbuser
+  $ export PASS=dbpass
+  $ ruby -r './lib/jekyll/converters/typo' -e 'Jekyll::Typo.process( \
+    "#{ENV["DB"]}", "#{ENV["USER"]}", "#{ENV["PASS"]}")'
+
+You may need to adjust the code used to filter Typo entries. Left alone,
+it will attempt to pull all entries across all blogs that were published.
+This code also has only been tested with Typo version 4+. Previous versions
+of Typo may not convert correctly. Please check the results and verify the 
+posts before publishing.
+
+h3. TextPattern 4
+
+To migrate your TextPattern blog into Jekyll, you'll need read access to the MySQL
+database. The lib/jekyll/converters/textpattern.rb module provides a simple convert to create .textile files in a _posts directory based on 
+the entries contained therein.
+
+  $ ruby -r './lib/jekyll/converters/textpattern' -e 'Jekyll::TextPattern.process( \
+    "database_name", "username", "password", "hostname")'
+
+The hostname defaults to _localhost_, all other variables are needed
+You may need to adjust the code used to filter entries. Left alone,
+it will attempt to pull all entries that are live or sticky.
+
+h2. Contribute
+
+If you'd like to hack on Jekyll, start by forking my repo on GitHub:
+
+http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll
+
+To get all of the dependencies, install the gem first. The best way to get
+your changes merged back into core is as follows:
+
+# Clone down your fork
+# Create a topic branch to contain your change
+# Hack away
+# Add tests and make sure everything still passes by running `rake`
+# If you are adding new functionality, document it in README.textile
+# Do not change the version number, I will do that on my end
+# If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors
+# Push the branch up to GitHub
+# Send me (mojombo) a pull request for your branch
