@mentionable support for your Jekyll site
Add the following to your site's Gemfile
gem 'jekyll-mentions'
And add the following to your site's _config.yml
gems:
- jekyll-mentions
In any page or post, use @mentions as you would normally, e.g.
Hey @benbalter, what do you think of this?
Note: Jekyll Mentions simply turns the @mentions into links, it does not notify the mentioned user.
Have your own social network? No problem. We allow you to configure the base URL of all the mentions.
To change it, add the following to your Jekyll configuration:
jekyll-mentions:
base_url: https://twitter.com
If you're lazy like me, you can use this shorthand:
jekyll-mentions: https://twitter.com
Et voilĂ ! Your mentions will now use that base URL instead of the default of https://github.com
