Range posts in Jekyll

Question

In order to show only 4 posts I'm using the following snippet:

{% for post in site.categories.mycategory limit:4 %}
  {{ post.content }}
{% endfor %}

Now, in a second container, I need to show posts from 5 to 8, then posts from 9 to 12 and so on. Is there a filter to range posts? Thanks.

You can use offset to skip the first elements:

{% for post in site.categories.mycategory limit:4 offset:4 %}
  {{ post.content }}
{% endfor %}

Also consider pagination.
