As the post title says: Why are the Page.params that are list variables force-casted to string lists? And why isn’t the same done for the same list variables in Page.params.resource.params?
List params in Page
If I have a front-matter like:
+++
title = "Custom front matter with list values in TOML"
tags = ["custom-fm", "list-values"]
draft = false
animals = ["dog", "cat", "penguin", "mountain gorilla"]
strings-symbols = ["abc", "def", "two words"]
integers = [123, -5, 17, 1_234]
floats = [12.3, -5.0, -1.7e-05]
booleans = [true, false]
+++
it looks like Hugo renders those integers, floats, booleans vars as strings internally as seen below:
Hugo output
List params in Page.Resources
But if the exact same parameters are in resources.params, they do not get casted to string:
+++
title = "Custom resource params with list values"
tags = ["resources", "toml"]
draft = false
[[resources]]
src = "*.png"
[resources.params]
booleans = [true, false]
integers = [123, -5, 17, 1_234]
animals = ["dog", "cat", "penguin", "mountain gorilla"]
strings-symbols = ["abc", "def", "two words"]
floats = [12.3, -5.0, -1.7e-05]
foo = "bar"
