Unable to list Jekyll pages by tag

purpose

Create a list of pages filtered by a single tag.

Problem

The list is not displayed.

things i have tried

I started with the <nav>

default element on the Jekyll site:

<nav class="site-nav">
<div class="trigger">
  {% for page in site.pages %}
    {% if page.title %}
      <a class="page-link" href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
</div>
</nav>

      

        
        
        
      

    

When the Jekyll site is serve

d, it puts the "About" page in the element nav

.

I added two tags to the front table of different pages on the site:

tags:
- eng
---

      

        
        
        
      

    

I tried both formats:

tags: eng
---

      

        
        
        
      

    

• Try to list through site.tags.eng
  
  (also tried site.tags[eng]
  
  and site.tags["eng"]
  
  ):

  <div class="trigger"> {% for page in site.tags.eng %} {% if page.title %} <a class="page-link" href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </div>
  
  

• Try testing the tag (with or without quotes):

  <div class="trigger"> {% for tag in site.tags %} {% if tag == "eng" %} {% if page.title %} <a class="page-link" href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a> {% endif %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} </div>
  
  

• Also add the list of tags to _config.yml
  
  :

  # Tags
  tags: [eng, jpn]
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• Add a tag to the example post to see if only posts are indexed

other questions I've looked at

• Making a list of pages (not posts) in a given category : not sure if what I'm trying is fundamentally different
• http://jekyllrb.com/docs/variables/ : The main Jekyll documentation does not say that tags should be specified in YAML config
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18944264/jekyll-plugin-liquid-tag-creation-not-working : It seems I didn't have to build a whole plugin for this.
