Styling content

With the Kramdown Markdown parser that Jekyll uses, you can add CSS classes to your content (see this blog post). By sticking to Bootstrap classes, you can easily style your content. If that doesn’t fit your needs, you can always write html in your Markdown.

For example, the paragraph at the top of this page is styled as a Bootstrap alert because it has {: .alert .alert-warning} right before it. Block elements like paragraphs need their class on the line above it.

Inline elements on the other hand, need a class right after it. For example, to style a link as a button, use [Don't click](http://example.com){: .btn .btn-danger}:

Don’t click

Code block by fencing code in backticks. This method allows supports syntax highlighting by adding the language, e.g. ```python:

Footnotes

Here’s a sentence with a footnote. ¹

Images

alt text You can add an image caption by including an _emphasized sentence_ directly below the image without inserting a new line. This will wrap both image and caption in a paragraph.

See the the links section to learn how to reference your own images and documents.

By default, images will be centered horizontally and use the full width if they can. But you can change image alignment by using Bootstrap classes.

For example, the image below is wrapped in a paragraph with {: .col-md-8 .mx-auto} to contain it (and its caption) to 8/12 of the width on medium and larger screens. On small screens the full width will be used. Controlling the width of an image is especially useful for portrait images.

alt text Image caption for this image should nicely wrap to the width of the container.

alt text The image to the left is styled with {: .rounded .float-start} to give it round corners and position it at the start (i.e. left), with text wrapping around it. Note that in Bootstrap v5 .float-left was renamed to .float-start and .float-right to .float-end, but the old class names are still supported in Petridish.

The image does not wrap around this paragraph, because the previous paragraph also has a {: .clearfix} class, which contains wrapping to that paragraph only.

This is the footnote. ↩
