Theme tags

Theme tags have many functions, including:

• Outputting template-specific HTML markup
• Telling the theme which layout and snippets to use
• Splitting a returned array into multiple pages.

comment

Allows you to leave un-rendered code inside a Liquid template. Any text within the opening and closing comment blocks will not be output, and any Liquid code within will not be executed.

My name is Wilson Abercrombie{% comment %}, esquire {% endcomment %}

paginate

Splitting products, blog articles, and search results across multiple pages is a necessary part of theme design as you are limited to 50 results per page in any for loop.

The paginate tag works with the for tag to split content into many pages. It must wrap a for tag block that loops through an array, as shown in the example below:

{% paginate collection.products by 5 %}
  {% for product in collection.products %}
    <!--show product details here -->
  {% endfor %}
{% endpaginate %}

raw

Allows output of Liquid code on a page without being parsed.

{% raw %}{{ 5 | plus: 6 }}{% endraw %} equals 11.

{{ 5 | plus: 6 }} equals 11.
