Total number of posts?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to display the total number of posts in a category (or all together). I envision something like below, but can't quite figure it out. Did I miss something from the docs?

{% for post in site.categories.CAT %}
    ...do some counting
{% endfor %}

posts: {% number_of_posts %}

{% for post in site.categories.CAT %}
    {{ post.title }}
{% endfor %}

# all posts

{{ site.posts | size }}

# posts in one category

{{ site.categories.CAT | size }}

How do you know this? I'm new to ruby and octopress. I find it very hard to find any info, Octopress doesn't tell much – tbleckert Dec 18 '13 at 12:56

This isn't Ruby, it's Liquid. – MrPopinjay Sep 24 '14 at 09:13
