Yesterday, I changed the blog’s homepage by allowing Jekyll to process markdown in the titles of blog posts.

Here is the title before the change:

markdownify-before

Here is the title after the change:

markdownify-after

I modified the _layouts > home.html file by adding markdownify to post.title:

markdownify-change

I also use markdownify for post titles (in post.html) and page titles (in page.html).
