Data file (YAML) returns empty rows?

Something odd is happening to my Site.Data calls, I get empty rows.

#data/moto.yaml

name: "Ron"
call : "http://www.ron.com"

loop:
- title: "Emperor"
- url: "motorola.com"
- img: "image.jpg"

- title: "Hello"
- url: "test.com"
- img: "image-2.jpg"

My call:

{{ $data := index .Site.Data .Params.Title }}
{{ $author := .Params.Title }}

{{ range .Site.Data }}
   {{ if eq .name $author }}
     {{ range .loop }}
        <p>{{ .title }} {{ .img }} {{ .url }}</p>
     {{ end }}
   {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Now, this should print an entry per line, but instead prints

<p>Emperor motorola.com image.jpg</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Hello test.com image-2.jpg</p>

I can fix with by using: {{ with .title }} {{ . }} {{ end }} for each call, but… it is Ok that it repeats like that? Or I’m doing something wrong. Curious about it.

this defines an item list!
change it to

loop:
- title: "Emperor"
  url: "motorola.com"
  img: "image.jpg"
- title: "Hello"
  url: "test.com"
  img: "image-2.jpg"

PS I don’t like yaml :slight_smile:
