Jekyll is a blog aware static website generator that is written in Ruby and uses Liquid for templating and Markdown to write posts and pages, Jekyll also offers build in support for SASS, SCSS, LESS and CoffeeScript.

Jekyll follows a naming conversion to differ a post or page. Jekyll knows a specific markdown file is a post when the file is formatted in YYYY-MM-DD-post-name.md, if a markdown file is formatted as name-of-page.md Jekyll knows it’s a page. You can always use a layout: string in the front-matter to select choose a specific layout or template file to be used while parsing and building a Jekyll based Website.

<pre class="wp-block-code">```
{% for page in site.pages %} 
{% if page.layout == "custom-page" %} <a href="{{page.url}}">{{page.title}}</a> 
{% endif %} 
{% endfor %}

That is one way to list posts in Liquid. If you want to list a specific layout based page that follows the page naming convention but does not use the `layout:` as `page`, we can fix this issue by tweaking the code a bit by adding a if statement to it. We will be using the layout `custom-page` to separate the stock or default `page` layout. This slight change in the code will list only those pages that use `custom-page` as layout.
