# Jekyll Conf 2016 slides and video: Overcoming Challenges in Using Jekyll for Tech Docs

> My slides and video for Jekyll Conf 2016 are available below. In this presentation, I talk about the various challenges I've had in using Jekyll for technical documentation. I explain my attempts to overcome requirements with everything from conditional filtering to generating PDFs, publishing across different environments, re-using content across projects, templatizing notes and alerts, and more.

Here are my slides:
