h3. Custom Filters

Jekyll can use custom liquid filters for the rendering of your site, these
can be created in the same way as standard liquid filters. Before a filter
will work through Jekyll you need to include the filter module:

	include Jekyll::Filters::Custom
	
Filters are expected inside a <code>_filters</code> directory at the root of
your source directory. 

Jekyll custom liquid filter example:

	module MyModule
		module StringFilter
			include Jekyll::Filters::Custom
			
			def my_filter(arg)
				"Hello World!"
			end
		end
	end
	
You would then be able to use the filter inside your templates:

	{{ "arg" | my_filter }}

Custom filters can be disabled by running Jekyll with the disable flag:

	$ jekyll --disable-custom-filters
