`jekyll_random_hex`

jekyll_random_hex is a Jekyll tag plugin that outputs a string of random hexadecimal characters of any length. Defaults to a six-character string.

Usage

Example: Generate 6 random characters:

{{ random_hex_string }}

Example: generate 20 random characters. Each hex digit expands to 2 characters, so 10 hex digits yields 20 characters.

{{ random_hex_string 10 }}
