Tag Cloud for Octopress

Description:

Easy output tag cloud and category list.

Files:

.
├─ plugins/
│  └── category_list.rb
└─ source/
   └─ _includes/
      └─ custom/
         └─ asides/
            ├─ category_list.html
            └─ category_cloud.html

Syntax:

{% category_cloud [counter:true] %}
{% category_list [counter:true] %}
{% top_category_list [counter:true] %}

Example:

In some template files, you can add the following markups.

source/_includes/custom/asides/category_cloud.html

<section>
  <h1>Tag Cloud</h1>
    <span id="tag-cloud">{% category_cloud %}</span>
</section>

source/_includes/custom/asides/category_list.html

<section>
  <h1>Categories</h1>
    <ul id="category-list">{% category_list counter:true %}</ul>
</section>

source/_includes/custom/asides/top_category_list.html

<section>
  <h1>Top Categories</h1>
    <ul id="top-category-list">{% top_category_list counter:true %}</ul>
</section>

This will list your categories by the number of posts in descending order. The default number of categories listed in the top category list is 10. Change this by setting "top_category_limit: " in _config.yml. If you'd like to list all of the categories by number of posts (like, for instance, on a devoted page) without making the top categories list in the sidebar list every single category, add "include_all:true" to the arguments to top_category_list, like {% top_category_list [counter:true,include_all:true] %}. If you don't care about limiting the sidebar aside thing, go ahead and set top_category_limit in _config.yml to 0.

alswl 的改进

支持 utf-8，使用 category_cloud 替换 tag_cloud ， 以避免和 真正的标签云 冲突。

Notes:

Be sure to insert above template files into default_asides array in _config.yml. And also you can define styles for 'tag-cloud', 'category-list', or 'top-category-list' in a .scss file. (ex: sass/custom/_styles.scss)
