Developers are using Octopress to deliver information to other developers. It is important that we consider those other developers when creating our content and how that content is displayed. Defining a custom liquid tag helps you represent your content in a way that is easy to understand. The following gist contains all the content you need to …

I would really like to try out your plugin but when I build I receive the following: Warning: Command failed: error: uninitialized constant Jekyll::TerminalTag::TemplateWrapper

Do you have any suggestions? Does this require any dependencies?

Thanks

I figured out my problem. I needed the raw.rb file that comes with Octopress and since I am using Jekyll I did not have this. It is located here for anyone using Jekyll that may come across this Gist

My fork has the necessary code that @jasonhodges mentioned, as well as updated styling for osx 10.11
