# Introduction
I would really appreciate some comments on that since I'm stumped.
Looks like Jekyll doesn't recognize post name with future dates as a valid post.
I added the future date randomly for testing purposes but looks like I lost myself in the debugging process.

R Markdown allows to add a footer to your html output. The YAML header allows to give an author name using a specific field.
I would like to use this author name in my footer.html file, but cannot figure out how to achieve that.
Here is a minimal example:
fic.rmd:
---
title: "title"
author: "Mister-A"
output:
html_document:
include:
after_body: footer.html
---
content
And in the same folder the footer.html file:
I am - #author-name-field-that-I-don't-konw-how-to-get -
Any help or advice would me much appreciated. Thank you very much.
If you want to be able to use the YAML parameters within sections of the report, you need to alter the base pandoc template. You can find all of them here
The basic structure of making this work is to put the variable surrounded by dollar signs to use the YAML variable in the output document. So for example $author$ is required in this case.
Solution
We can create a copy of the pandoc template for HTML in our local directory using the following command. This is the same file as here.
# Copies the RMkarkdown template to the local directory so we can edit it
file.copy(rmarkdown:::rmarkdown_system_file("rmd/h/default.html"), to = "template.html")
In the template.html, we need to add the pandoc tags. To add a footer, we want to add code to the buttom of the document. This is line 457 in the current template but this may change in future versions, so we want to put it after the include-after tag:
$for(include-after)$
$include-after$
$endfor$
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center;">I am $author$</p>
$if(theme)$
$if(toc_float)$
</div>
</div>
$endif$
Finally, the R Markdown file looks like:
---
title: "title"
author: "Mister-A"
output:
html_document:
template: template5.html
---
This is some text

This is my personal GH Pages site.
I have this set in my /_config.yml:
theme: jekyll-theme-cayman
title: iBug # GitHub
description: The small personal site for iBug
Now it shows a big title iBug # GitHub and a tagline on every page GH Pages generates. I want to set overrides for specific pages. I tried
---
title: Blog index
---
in /blog/index.html, but it doesn't work. It only changes the HTML title of the page (browser title bar), but not the "title" in the big block on the top of the page.
How do I set an override title for a single page?
Update: I have since submitted a pull request to change this in the theme, and the answer below is no longer necessary since it's already been applied when you use the theme as of now. All you need to do is to specify the title override in the front matter:
---
title: My custom title
---
To specify another title, you need to change the layout file.
Copy the default layout and place it in <GitHub repo>/_layouts/default.html, and change line 16 to this:
<h1 class="project-name">{{ page.title | default: site.title }}</h1>
Then Jekyll will respect the title set in the front matter, and place it there.
This is just the way this theme is implemented, if you check the default layout for Cayman theme on line 14 you can see what exact variable it is using.
<h1 class="project-name">{{ site.title | default: site.github.repository_name }}</h1>
Hope that helps!
My approach is using javascript as follows.
<script>
document.getElementsByClassName("project-name").item(0).innerText = "{{ page.title }}";
</script>
You can write a html file in _includes dir and use {% include your_file.html %}.
I'm aware you can use _layouts and in your pages do something like
---
layout: some_layout
title: Home
---
So say I have 20 pages. All using the same template but slightly different content and stuff inside.
Instead of creating 20 different pages.html files with different names and different permalinks.
Is there a way to create 1 page.html and based on the permalink change what's inside the {{ content }}?
Just create your-slug.md files. Let them all use the same layout, like this:
---
layout: some_layout
title: Your title
---
In the layout file (some_layout.html) you put some logic, like this:
{% if page.url contains '/your-slug' %}Put this on the screen.{% endif %}
You could organize the 20 pages under a collection and assign defaults on the collection.
For example, say your collection is labelled docs, then all those 20 pages need to be placed inside a directory named _docs, at the root of your source directory. Following that configure your collection to use the layout some_layout for its documents.
# _config.yml
# enable rendering on your collection(s)
collections:
docs:
output: true
another_collection:
output: true
# set defaults on your collection. (note the indentation..)
defaults:
-
scope:
type: docs
path: _docs
values:
layout: some_layout # The layout for this collections' files
-
scope:
type: another_collection
[...]
I have not tried this yet, but there is a closed github issue: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/16
There are suggestions to write/use a jekyll plugin like the ones below. These are links from the issue and their state is unknown to me.

I have some Jekyll front matter:
---
layout: boilerplate
title: {{ site.data.products.meta_title }}
---
But the meta title from data is not output - how can I get it to be outputted?
No you cannot use liquid variables in front matter because front matter variables are not processed by Liquid.
I'm trying to build a mobile version for my website using Jekyll.
So I want Jekyll to build the same post by using two different layout post and mobile_post
I've tried, none of these work:
---
layout: [post, mobile_post]
title: "first post"
date: 2013-06-12 22:35:00
categories: Rss
---
---
layout: post mobile_post
title: "first post"
date: 2013-06-12 22:35:00
categories: Rss

Could someone help me out! thanks!!
I wrote a plugin for this exact type of scenario. This should be what you are looking for: https://github.com/saclark/jekyll-multipost
