Configure site identity

_config/site.yml

name: Write__Adapt__
title: WriteAdapt - For People Who Love Content
org: Strategy Media
author: The Octocat
author_url: https://github.com/octocat
base_url: ''
ctx_path: ''

Additional configuration to customize processor

_config/site.yml

# append
interpolate: false #(1)
haml:
  :ugly: true #(2)

1. Disables interpolation of Ruby variable expressions in content (e.g., #{name})

2. Disables pretty printing (indentation) of HTML output

Clean and preview site to see changes

$ rake clean preview

Important

The clean step is required since a change to the configuration file, _config/site.yml, does not force pages to be regenerated automatically.
