How to get the markdownified content in single.md to have custom output markdown

juh2 · August 5, 2022, 2:55pm

To get a markdown file as custom output format I created a template single.md with this content:


# {{ .Title }}

{{. Content }}

The resulting markdown file has html code.

When I use {{ .RawContent }} I get the raw content from the original markdown file with shortcodes etc.

I would like get a markdown file with resolved shortcodes.

Is this possible?

There has been discussion about this on Github, but nothing yet. Basically a .RenderedContent type of object. But it doesn’t exist now.

Keep Proposal

I have been hit by this issue twice recently -- so I assume this is a problem wo…rth solving (I know there are similar issue, and this also relates to `.RenderString`. Currently we have: * `.Content` which gives rendered HTML with shortcodes rendered. * `.RawContent` which gives the raw source excluding front matter. No shortcodes rendered. A common pattern is to include files using `.GetPage` via a shortcode, e.g.: ```md # Title {{< include "foo.md" >}} ``` Using the `{{<` means you can include just about anything and it will be preserved as-is. But it will not partake in the global rendering context re. table of contents, foot notes etc. You can do this in your shortcode: ```html {{ (site.GetPage "foo.md").RawContent n}} ``` And then ```md # Title {{% include "foo.md" %}} ``` The above will work but any shortcodes in `foo.md` will not be rendered. Which this issue is all about. I assume that it makes sense that `.RenderString` uses this method internally by default, but what I need is basically: ```html {{ $markdownWithRenderedShortcodes := .RawContent | .RenderShortcodes }} ``` These should also work: ```html {{ $markdownWithRenderedShortcodes := .RenderShortcodes }} {{ $markdownWithRenderedShortcodes := "string with shortcodes" | .RenderShortcodes }} ``` /cc @regisphilibert @onedrawingperday @digitalcraftsman @moorereason and gang And yes, this is tightly connected to a `Page` so I think a method makes sense.
