Version
As I use open source software, I usually enumerate them to help spreading the word. And I prefer to do this with site URL and version number.
As the version numbers are changing continuously, I created a small plugin to facilitate access to the version numbers of currently used software.
| Liquid code | Return value | Description | Taken from |
|---|---|---|---|
{% version albino %} |
- | Albino highlighter’s version | Albino::VERSION |
{% version jekyll %} |
1.3.0 | Jekyll engine’s version | Jekyll::VERSION |
{% version kramdown %} |
1.2.0 | kramdown converter’s version | Kramdown::VERSION |
{% version liquid %} |
2.5.4 | Liquid template’s version | gem specification |
{% version maruku %} |
0.6.1 | Maruku converter’s version | MaRuKu::Version |
{% version pygments %} |
0.5.4 | pygments.rb highlighter’s version | gem specification |
{% version ruby %} |
1.9.2 | Ruby interpreter’s version | RUBY_VERSION |
