h1. Jekyll Image Encode

This Jekyll plugin fetches images from the web and renders their corresponding base64 codes.

For example, a 1x1 clear PNG would become:

pre.

Be sure to know your reasons when using this plugin.

h2. Installation

Set the constant @PATH_TO_JEKYLL_SITE@ correctly and run these commands accordingly:

pre. cd ${PATH_TO_JEKYLL_SITE} echo "gem 'jekyll_image_encode'" >> Gemfile bundle echo "require 'jekyll_image_encode'" >> _plugins/ext.rb

Alternatively you may accomplish the same without @echo@ and @bundle@:

Install the plugin by running @gem install jekyll_image_encode@

Add the line @require 'jekyll_image_encode'@ to _plugins/ext.rb

h2. Usage

In the source attribute of an HTML img element, call the base64-tag providing the image URL as the only parameter:

pre.

This works for both remote (http://...) and local urls within your jekyll project.
