'''Jekyll''' is a simplistic software package compiled in {{tag|Ruby}}.  Created by the co-founder of [[GitHub]],<ref name=OpenCollective>[https://OpenCollective.com/jekyll Jekyll]; ''OpenCollective.com''; accessed 10 August 2021.</ref> it is released as {{tag|open source}} under the terms of the {{tag|MIT license}}.  Although primarily a [[:Category:Blog|blog]] publishing software,<ref name=OpenCollective/> due to its option for in-page (including section) editing, Jekyll also functions as a great {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}}.  Jekyll is able to render by utilising {{tag|Markdown}} or {{Wp|Textile (markup language)|Textile}} and [https://shopify.GitHub.io/liquid/ Liquid] templates,<ref name=OpenCollective/> and requires no [[:Category:Database|database]] for storage, instead supports loading content from {{Wp|YAML}}, {{tag|JSON}}, {{tag|comma-separated values}} (CSV), and {{Wp|tab-separated values}} (TSV) files.<ref>[https://JekyllRb.com/docs/datafiles/ Data files]; ''JekyllRb.com''; Jekyll; accessed 10 August 2021.</ref>

Jekyll can be customised by way of {{tag|Cascading Style Sheets|CSS}}, including Bootstrap, and {{tag|Semantic Web|semantic}} functions.  Sites created in Jekyll can also be connected to cloud-based [[:Category:Content management system|CMS]] software such as CloudCannon, Forestry, Netlify, or Siteleaf; and this also enables [[editor]]s to modify site content without having to know how to code.  Notably, Jekyll is the software engine used by GitHub Pages from {{tag|GitHub|GitHub, Inc.}}<ref>[https://JekyllRb.com/docs/github-pages/ GitHub Pages]; ''JekyllRb.com''; Jekyll; accessed 10 August 2021.</ref>
