Custom Jekyll Include Snippets

This page explains the custom Jekyll include snippets that can be used in Kubernetes documentation markdown.

Read more about includes in the Jekyll documentation.

Feature state

In a markdown page (.md file) on this site, you can add a tag to display version and state of the documented feature.

Feature state demo

Below is a demo of the feature state snippet. Here it is used to display the feature as stable in Kuberentes version 1.6.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes 1.6 stable

This feature is stable, meaning:

  • The version name is vX where X is an integer.
  • Stable versions of features will appear in released software for many subsequent versions.

Feature state code

Below is the template code for each available feature state.

The displayed Kubernetes version defaults to that of the page. This can be changed by setting the for_k8s_version variable.

{% assign for_k8s_version =  "1.6" %}
{% include feature-state-stable.md %}

Alpha feature

{% include feature-state-alpha.md %}

Beta feature

{% include feature-state-beta.md %}

Stable feature

{% include feature-state-stable.md %}

Deprecated feature

{% include feature-state-deprecated.md %}

Tabs

In a markdown page (.md file) on this site, you can add a tab set to display multiple flavors of a given solution.

Tabs demo

Below is a demo of the tabs snippet. Here it is used to display each of the installation commands for the various Kubernetes network solutions.

Select one of the tabs.

kubectl apply -f "http://docs.projectcalico.org/v2.4/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubeadm/calico.yaml"
kubectl apply -f "https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml?raw=true"
kubectl apply -f "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romana/romana/master/containerize/specs/romana-kubeadm.yml"
kubectl apply -f "https://git.io/weave-kube"

Example Liquid template code for tabs

Below is the Liquid template code for the tabs demo above to illustrate how to specify the contents of each tab. The /_includes/tabs.md file included at the end then uses those elements to render the actual tab set.

The following sections break down each of the individual features used.

{% capture default_tab %}
Select one of the tabs.
{% endcapture %}

{% capture calico %}
```shell
kubectl apply -f "http://docs.projectcalico.org/v2.4/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubeadm/calico.yaml"
```
{% endcapture %}

{% capture flannel %}
```shell
kubectl apply -f "https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml?raw=true"
```
{% endcapture %}

{% capture romana %}
```shell
kubectl apply -f "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romana/romana/master/containerize/specs/romana-kubeadm.yml"
```
{% endcapture %}

{% capture weave_net %}
```shell
kubectl apply -f "https://git.io/weave-kube"
```
{% endcapture %}

{% assign tab_names = 'Default,Calico,Flannel,Romana,Weave Net' | split: ',' | compact %}
{% assign tab_contents = site.emptyArray | push: default_tab | push: calico | push: flannel | push: romana | push: weave_net %}

{% include tabs.md %}

Capturing tab content

{% capture calico %}
```shell
kubectl apply -f "http://docs.projectcalico.org/v2.4/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubeadm/calico.yaml"
```
{% endcapture %}

The capture [variable_name] tags store text or markdown content and assign them to the specified variable.

Assigning tab names

{% assign tab_names = 'Default,Calico,Flannel,Romana,Weave Net' | split: ',' | compact %}

The assign tab_names tag takes a list of labels to use for the tabs. Label text can include spaces. The given comma delimited string is split into an array and assigned to the tab_names variable.

Assigning tab contents

{% assign tab_contents = site.emptyArray | push: default_tab | push: calico | push: flannel | push: romana | push: weave_net %}

The assign tab_contents tag adds the contents of each tab pane, captured above, as elements to the tab_contents array.

Including the tabs.md template

{% include tabs.md %}

{% include tabs.md %} pulls in the tabs template code, which uses the tab_names and tab_contents variables to render the tab set.
