docpad-plugin-text v2.10.0

Allows you to render variables within templateData using text elements

Usage

If you have this in your docpad.cson

{
	templateData:
		firstname: 'Benjamin'
		lastname: 'Lupton'
		fullname: '<t>firstname</t> <t>lastname</t>'
		markdownExample: '<t render="markdown">this is so **awesome**</t>'
		markdownEcoExample: '<t render="html.md.eco">here is a random number: **<%- Math.random() %>**</t>'
}

Doing the following inside a document:

My creator's firstname is: <t>firstname</t> My creator's lastname is:
<t>lastname</t> My creator's fullname is: <t>fullname</t> The markdown example
is: <t>markdownExample</t> The markdown eco example is:
<t>markdownEcoExample</t>

Will output:

My creator's firstname is: Benjamin My creator's lastname is: Lupton My
creator's fullname is: Benjamin Lupton The markdown example is: this is so
<strong>awesome</strong> The markdown eco example is: here is a random number:
<strong>0.5123213213123</strong>

Which is incredibly useful for abstracting out common generic pieces of text from your templates and placing them inside your configuration files. A common use case for this is easy configurability of skeletons, as well as easier translation of your website.

If you are embedding a text block into a text block, it is best that you name your text block like so <t:myName>blah</t:myName> that way our parser won't get confused as easily :)

To use it with coffeekup you'll do it like so tag 'text', {render:"md"}, "your **markdown** content". More info here..

Alternatively, you can use the t template helper like so @t('*markdown*', {render:"markdown"})

Configuration

matchElementRegexString defaults to 't(?:ext)?'

What regex string should we use to find text elements. The default value will find <t> and <text> elements. If you use SVG, you may want to change this just to t to avoid conflicts with the text element.

preferredElement defualts to 't'

What element should be preferred when we are inject text elements with the t template helper? The default value will inject <t> elements.
