Here we'll get familiar with the Liquid syntax and learn about all the methods and logic available to us.

## Introduction

Jekyll uses the standard Liquid templating language package and includes a few other helpful extensions of its own.

Jekyll-bootstrap does not support plugin development so only the standard filters and logic will be available to us.

Remember we are the end-users!

## Liquid Crash Course

The following link contains a comprehensive course in everything available in Liquid.
The standard library is also available in Jekyll.

## Examples

Finally we take a look out the included helper examples and their source to see 
how we can display our post and site information in a more strategic manner.

<ul>
{% assign pages_list = site.categories.helpers %}
{% include helpers/pages_list.html %}
</ul>
