"Type-specific layouts" separate for single category

[dzg]

Regarding "Type-specific layouts"

site.com/categories works using my defined layout:

But how do I specify the layout for site.com/categories/category1 ?

It lists posts with category1 but I don't see how to customize the layout.

OK, so it works with

layout: category_archives
layouts:
  category: category

But in my layout category_archives.html how do I get the category being displayed to use in the title?

SOLVED I used {{ page.posts[0].categories[0] }} to grab the category being listed. Leaving this here if someone else needs this ... or if someone knows a better way. Thanks!

If you:

1. want to use different layouts for different categories (like /category/cat1/ and /category/cat2/ with completely different layouts) I think this is not supported
2. simply want to access the category name inside the layout, you can use page.title, as stated in the docs.
