ed15a52c26 docs: revisit wording & style for liquidjs.com (#906)
* docs: polish theme, playground, and reference pages

Improve readability of the docs site with updated light/dark tokens, shared
code-block styling, and playground editors that follow system color scheme.
Skip CookieHub on localhost, serve the browser bundle from theme source, and
use backtick titles on filter/tag reference pages for consistent navigation.

* docs: highlight npx in bash blocks and polish English copy

Use Prism insertBefore for CLI commands like npx, tighten tutorial and reference wording, and keep YAML titles free of backticks so sidebar and page headings stay correct.

* docs: restore lowercase filter and tag titles

Titles should match actual filter/tag identifiers (e.g. abs, append), not capitalized English labels.

Truthy and Falsy

Though Liquid is platform-independent, there are certain differences with the Ruby version, one of which is the truthy value.

The Truth Table

According to Shopify document everything other than false and nil is truthy. But in JavaScript we have a totally different type system, we have types like undefined and we don't differentiate integer and float, thus things are slightly different:

value truthy falsy
true ✔️
false ✔️
null ✔️
undefined ✔️
string ✔️
empty string ✔️
0 ✔️
integer ✔️
float ✔️
array ✔️
empty array ✔️

Use JavaScript Truthy

Note that LiquidJS uses Shopify's truthiness by default. It can be toggled to use standard JavaScript truthiness by setting the jsTruthy option to true.

value truthy falsy
true ✔️
false ✔️
null ✔️
undefined ✔️
string ✔️
empty string ✔️
0 ✔️
integer ✔️
float ✔️
array ✔️
empty array ✔️
