(or run with the <code>-w</code> switch) to see your changes! To add new posts, simply add
a file in the <code>_posts</code> directory that follows the convention:
YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext.</p>
<!--more-->
<p>We’ve also added a lot of different settings for <a href="https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet">Redcarpet</a>,
including being able to <sup>superscript,</sup> <u>underline</u>, <mark>highlight</mark>,
<del>strikethrough</del>, and footnotes.<sup id="fnref1"><a href="#fn1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> It even automatically makes links into
URLs: <a href="http://www.jekyllrb.com">www.jekyllrb.com</a> and you can put multiple underscores in words without
them leaning all over the place: this_word_has_underscores. It’ll also make your
quotes look nice, like this: “hoho”, your dashes and hypens will be dashing too:
—/–.</p>
<p>Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">def print_hi(name)
puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.</code></pre></div>

Introducing Poole2014-03-02T00:00:00+01:00localhost:4000/jekyll/poole/2014/03/02/introducing-poole<p><em>The Strange Case of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde</em> tells the story of a lawyer
investigating the connection of two persons, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward
Hyde. Chief among the novel’s supporting cast is a man by the name of Mr. Poole,
Dr. Jekyll’s loyal butler.</p>
<hr>
<p>Poole is the butler for <a href="http://jekyllrb.com">Jekyll</a>, the static site
generator. It’s designed and developed by <a href="https://twitter.com/mdo">@mdo</a> to
provide a clear and concise foundational setup for any Jekyll site. It does so
by furnishing a full vanilla Jekyll install with example templates, pages,
posts, and styles.</p>
<p>There are currently two themes built on Poole:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://hyde.getpoole.com">Hyde</a></li>
<li><a href="http://lanyon.getpoole.com">Lanyon</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Learn more and contribute on <a href="https://github.com/poole">GitHub</a>.</p>
<h3>What’s included</h3>
<p>Poole is a streamlined Jekyll site designed and built as a foundation for
building more meaningful themes. Poole, and every theme built on it, includes
the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Complete Jekyll setup included (layouts, config, <a href="/404">404</a>, <a href="/atom.xml">RSS
feed</a>, posts, and <a href="/about">example page</a>)</li>
<li>Mobile friendly design and development</li>
<li>Easily scalable text and component sizing with <code>rem</code> units in the CSS</li>
<li>Support for a wide gamut of HTML elements</li>
<li>Related posts (time-based, because Jekyll) below each post</li>
<li>Syntax highlighting, courtesy Pygments (the Python-based code snippet
highlighter)</li>
</ul>
<p>Additional features are available in individual themes.</p>
<h3>Browser support</h3>
<p>Poole and it’s themes are by preference a forward-thinking project. In addition
to the latest versions of Chrome, Safari (mobile and desktop), and Firefox, it
is only compatible with Internet Explorer 9 and above.</p>
<h3>Download</h3>
<p>Poole is developed on and hosted with GitHub. Head to the <a
href="https://github.com/poole/poole">GitHub repository</a> for downloads, bug
reports, and features requests.</p>
