h1. Jekyll Image Encode

This Jekyll plugin fetches images from the web and renders their according base64 codes.

For example, a **1x1 clear PNG** would become:

pre. <img src="data:image;base64, iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAIAAACQd1PeAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c
6QAAAAxJREFUCNdj+P//PwAF/gL+3MxZ5wAAAABJRU5ErkJggg== " />

Be sure to know your reasons when using this plugin.


h2. Installation

Set the constant @PATH_TO_JEKYLL_SITE@ correctly and run these commands accordingly:

pre. cd ${PATH_TO_JEKYLL_SITE}
echo "gem 'jekyll_image_encode'" >> Gemfile
bundle
echo "require 'jekyll_image_encode'" >> _plugins/ext.rb


*Alternatively* you may accomplish the same without @echo@ and @bundle@:

# Install the plugin by running @gem install jekyll_image_encode@
# Add the line @require 'jekyll_image_encode'@ to *_plugins/ext.rb*


h2. Usage

In the source attribute of an HTML *img* element, call the *base64-tag* providing the image URL as the only parameter:

pre. <img src="{% base64 http://example.org/image.png %}" />

This works for both remote (http://...) and local urls within your jekyll project.
