Can anyone point me to the definitive list of supported Jekyll Liquid tags?
I'm aware of {{ contents }} and a few others from https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/liquid-extensions
But I'm sure there are a lot more. Can someone help?
I'm particularly interested in predefined output markup - is there a tag that contains "index" when rendering "index.html"?
A list of stock tags can be found on the Liquid for Designers page of the Liquid project.
A list of context data injected into Liquid can be found here.
AFAIK, page.name contains the source file name, eg index.md and {{ page.basename }} should output index in this case (but I haven't tried it yet).
I'm aware of
{{ contents }}
You probably mean {{ page.contents }} - {{ contents }} alone will render nothing (unless you have defined that variable manually)

The "definitive guide" is: https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Template-Data . It lists all the available tags.

I'm afraid there are not. By default, for a page, you only get page.url and page.content. You can also get anything defined on the yaml front. And that's all you can get.

page.url will be index.html, but there isn't a direct way to get index alone (unless you define it manually in the yaml front).
Jekyll uses Liquid template language, and you can find the list of tags and filters at the Liquid Documentation, which can be considered the official reference. There is also a tutorial for designers.
The list of Jekyll-specific variables can be found at Jekyll Documentation.
Well, according to the official github-pages gem, GitHub Pages is currently running version 1.1.2 of Jekyll. Documentation for that specific version is here. Digging around there will reveal a few things, such as a few filters not documented at the Liquid for Designers page. For example, I found {{ page.date | date_to_rfc822 }} useful when generating an RSS feed for my Jekyll site.
I did not find the above documentation resource complete, but I thought it might be useful for anyone looking at this question looking for additional documentation on what Liquid tags are available in GitHub Pages.
