assign

Repeatedly executes a block of code. For a full list of attributes avalible within a for loop, see the table above.

 

{% assign voldemort == 'He who shall not be named' %}
{{ voldemort }}

 
He who shall not be named

 

capture

Captures the string inside of the opening and closing tags and assigns it to a variable. Variables created through capture are strings.

 

{% capture my_variable %}I am being captured.{% endcapture %}
{{ my_variable }}

 
I am being captured.


Using capture, you can create complex strings using other variables created with assign:

 
{% assign favorite_food = "pizza" %}
{% assign age = 35 %}

{% capture about_me %}
I am {{ age }} and my favorite food is {{ favorite_food }}.
{% endcapture %}

{{ about_me }}
 
I am 35 and my favourite food is pizza.

{% increment my_counter %}
{% increment my_counter %}
{% increment my_counter %}

decrement

Creates a new number variable, and decreases its value by one every time it is called. The initial value is -1.

 
{% decrement variable %}
{% decrement variable %}
{% decrement variable %}
