Archive generator plugin for jekyll
# Jekyll archive page generator with pagination.
#
# Based on the category generator from
# http://recursive-design.com/projects/jekyll-plugins/,
# which is copyright (c) 2010 Dave Perrett,
# http://recursive-design.com/ and is licensed under the MIT
# license (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php), and
# on the pagination code from Jekyll itself.
#
# This code is copyright (c) 2011 Benjamin Curtis, and is licensed
# under the MIT license.
#
# A generator that creates archive pages for jekyll sites.
#
# To use it, simply drop this script into the _plugins directory of your Jekyll site. You should
# also create a file called 'archive_index.html' in the _layouts directory of your jekyll site
# with the following contents (note: you should remove the leading '# ' characters):
#
# ================================== COPY BELOW THIS LINE ==================================
# ---
# layout: default
# ---
#
# {% for post in paginator.posts %}
# {% include post.html %}
# {% endfor %}
#
# <p class="navigation">
# {% if paginator.next_page %}
# <span class="alignleft"><a href="/archives/{{ page.year}}/{{ page.month }}/page/{{ paginator.next_page }}/">« Previous Entries</a></span>
# {% endif %}
#
# {% if paginator.previous_page %}
# {% if paginator.previous_page > 1 %}
# <span class="alignright"><a href="/archives/{{ page.year}}/{{ page.month }}/page/{{ paginator.previous_page }}/">Next Entries »</a></span>
# {% else %}
# <span class="alignright"><a href="/archives/{{ page.year}}/{{ page.month }}/">Next Entries »</a></span>
# {% endif %}
# {% endif %}
# </p>

#
# You can alter the _layout_ setting if you wish to use an alternate layout, and obviously you
# can change the HTML above as you see fit.
#
# When you compile your jekyll site, this plugin will loop through the list of archives in your
# site, and use the layout above to generate a page for each one with a list of links to the
# individual posts.
#
# Included filters :
# - archive_links: Outputs the list of archives as <link> tags for use in the <head>
# - archive_selects: Outputs the list of archives as <option> tags for use in a navigation drop-down box
#
# Available _config.yml settings :
# - archive_dir: The subfolder to build archive pages in (default is 'archives').
# - archive_title_prefix: The string used before the archive name in the page title (default is
# 'Archive: ').
