Markdownify renders plain text instead of table

[Paul_Beukelman]

Hi there,

I am new to hugo, and so far the journey has been excellent and a lot of fun, thanks a lot for that! There is only one thing that I can’t really solve or can’t find in the docs. I am trying to render a table via markdownify (comes from front matter). But somehow the tables gets rendered as plain text in a paragraph tag, whatever I try (surrounding it by breaks, spaces, headers etc.).

Some info:

• hugo version: v0.69.2
• Multi language, with default config and goldmark unsafe set to true
• Setting content in front matter
• rendering content in template with | markdownify

Content example:

content: >-
  ### Info


  ---

  * valid bullet
  * valid bullet


  | Option | Description |
  | ------ | ----------- |
  | data   | path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates. |
  | engine | engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default. |
  | ext    | extension to be used for dest files. |

Template render

{{ .content | markdownify  }}

result of table:

<p>| Option | Description | | —— | ———– | | data   | path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates. | | engine | engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default. | | ext    | extension to be used for dest files. |
      </p>

Problem:
Table renders as plain text in a paragraph tag, the rest of the markdown renders perfectly.

Maybe I missed configuration or anything else. Hopefully someone else had the same experience and fixed it somehow.

Cheers!
Paul

Use content: | or content: |-, instead of content: > or content: >-. See https://yaml-multiline.info. You are removing new lines that shouldn’t be removed.

Or just use the simple triple quote multiline that TOML allows.

Thanks a lot @jmooring! And thanks for pointing me to the right documentation.

Sorry by the way for the late response, we were busy launching the site, all went well without having tables So now its time for some finishing touches.
