Include shared page header and footer

I have a header and a footer that I would like to keep as fixed sections across all pages. As I think these small pages are susceptible to be reused in other pages as fragments or partials, I am going to create them as Jekyll includes.

vi vi _includes/header.html

<h1>dreyescat.github.io</h1>
<p>Howtos, code snippets, comments, ...</p>
<p>Stuff I think it's worth to keep and might be useful to others</p>


vi _includes/footer.html

<p>This blog is maintained by <a href="https://github.com/dreyescat">dreyescat</a></p>
<p><small>Hosted on GitHub Pages &mdash; Theme by <a href="https://github.com/orderedlist">orderedlist</a></small></p>

Now, as I want to include those fragments on all my pages, I am going to modify the default.html layout. Just wrap {{ content }} between a header and a footer.

vi _layout/default.html


...
<div class="wrapper">
  <header>
    {% include header.html %}
  </header>
  <section>
    {{ content }}
  </section>
  <footer>
    {% include footer.html %}
  </footer>
</div>
...
