README
`jekyll_random_hex`
[](https://badge.fury.io/rb/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 }}
```
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'jekyll_random_hex'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:

```shell
$ bundle exec rake release
