How to add a "raw" html+javascript page?

[alkamid]

I'd like to add a page that would be purely in HTML + javascript that would come up on my domain (alkamid.com/mypage) but not in the post index. I tried simply creating another layout (_layouts/raw-page.html) with {{ content }} only, but javascript (d3.js) is not executing. Specifically, I'd like to add this gist as a separate page: https://gist.github.com/alkamid/29f86cfb22c8bdb080ab. How to do this properly?

You'll want to create a page outside of the _posts folder. Look at theme-setup as an example of how pages are setup.

Basically you create a folder in the root of your Jekyll site and place an index.md file inside of that with Markdown or HTML. There's a million different ways to do this but one way off the top of my head:

1. Create a new layout /_layouts/raw-page.html and populate it with the contents from that gist.
2. Create /mypage/index.md. Add the appropriate YAML Front matter for title and set layout: raw-page and leave the content blank.

When you build your site you should get a page at alkamid.com/mypage/ that looks like your gist.

If you want more info on how Pages work with Jekyll check out the official documentation.

Also you should be able to just add a raw HTML file (or any file for that matter) in root. If you don't include any YAML Front Matter Jekyll should leave it alone. So instead of doing what I suggested above just create /mypage/index.html and place the contents of your gist in that file.
