jekyll_archive_display

jekyll_archive_display is a Jekyll plugin, packaged as a Ruby gem, that lists the names and contents of each entry in a tar file.

The following HTML is emitted for each text file within the tar:

<div class='codeLabel'>{tar_entry.full_name}</div>
<pre data-lt-active='false'>{file_contents}</pre>

Binary files are displayed like this:
