Overview
The theme.liquid file is basically an HTML/XHTML file that contains liquid tags and provides the overall theme of the site. In this file, you will want everything that is normally included in a standard index.html page.
For example, you will need
- A Doctype specifying whether it's transitional or strict
- A Head tag
- A Body tag
This file contains all the static elements of your site.
You must include the following two lines somewhere within the file.
- head section:
{{ content_for_header }}
- main content area:
{{ content_for_layout }}
The dynamic content is provided by the other liquid templates and the result of rendering these templates is included at the position where you included the content_for_layout tag.
Normally, you will want to specify javascript and stylesheet includes in the head tag of this file.
Here is an example of a javascript include tag with a liquid filter
{{ 'shop.js' | asset_url | script_tag }}
This is an example of a stylesheet include tag with a liquid filter
{{ 'shop.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
