- Forcing Internet Explorer to use its latest rendering mode (read more)
- And, utilizing the viewport meta tag.
Put it all together and your pages should look like this:
{% highlight html %}
<html lang="en"> <head> </head>Hello, world!
<!-- jQuery first, then Bootstrap JS. -->
<script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
<script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
