I just started blogging using jekyll. I write my posts in markdown. Now I want to include a YouTube video in my post. How can I do this?
I don’t really like the pygments highlighting provided by jekyll by default. Is there anyway I can change this to some other style? If yes, can you point me to some nice styles/plugins?
You should be able to put the HTML for embedding directly into your markdown. Under the video, there is a “Share” button, click on this, and then the “Embed” button, which should give you something that looks a little like:
Just copy and paste that into your post, the Markdown preprocessor won’t touch it.
For Pygments, there is a whole pile of CSS stylesheets for various colour themes in this repository, you could experiment with them. (Note that you will have to replace
.codehilitewith.highlightfor these to work with Jekyll.)
