Jekyll-tikz is a Jekyll plugin which helps you use Tikz in you Jekyll site.
# Authored my Maxfan http://github.com/Maxfan-zone http://maxfan.org
# This is used to convert tikz code into svg file and load in you jekyll site
#
# Install:
#
# 1. Copy this file in your _plugins/ directory. You can customize it, of course.
# 2. Make sure texlive and pdf2svg are installed on your computer.
# 3. Set path to pdf2svg in _config.yml in "pdf2svg" variable
#
# Input:
#
# {% tikz filename %}
# \tikz code goes here
# {% endtikz %}
#
# This will generate a /img/post-title-from-filename/filename.svg in your jekyll directory
#
# And then return this in your HTML output file:
#
# <embed src="/img/post-title-from-filename/tikz-filename.svg" type="image/svg+xml" />
#
# Note that it will generate a /_tikz_tmp directory to save tmp files.
#

Hi there, I would like to use this and use it in jekyll-latex-pdf (see rubygems or gitlab). Is that ok for you? It will be a part of the project then.
