Hi, I’m processing some text stored in front matter (for a forestry site) using : {{ $text | $.Page.RenderString }} which is producing ok HTML but is not pulling the render hook. Has anyone else had problems? I’m not entirely sure if this is a recent problem or not or if it is chalked up to some…

You cannot access the Markdown Render Hook from a template, these only work with Markdown syntax for links or images entered in content files.

From both the documentation and experience (and a test that I did on another site – where the render hooks are, for some reason working), this is not the case. Just like with markdownify, you can apply .RenderString via the .Page (so… .Page.RenderString) to an arbitrary piece of markdown.

Ok, found out about some interesting things: @bep @alexandros you might be interested in this behavior – let me know if you would like me to make a support ticket. Seems like a few things : 1) something funky is happening when {{ .Content }} is/isn’t generated 2)caching causing it hard to debug S…

hey, just wanted to check in to see if others have dealt with this, too.

Yeah, I’m having issue with this too. I swear I had it working a couple weeks ago. I don’t know if an update to the latest version of Hugo broke this again. But same issue for me. I have a Frontmatter key that holds a string of markdown content. When I run that through {{ .text | $.Page.RenderStri…

OK! Here is a weird fix. If I put a call .Content at the top, I can get the RenderHooks to work for all the Frontmatter Markdown strings below. Here’s and example: <div>{{ .Content }}</div> <div>{{ .text | $.Page.RenderString }}</div> This will make the RenderHook work for both outputs. However,…

Sure. Here is a quick example site I threw together to show the issue. https://brownerd.gitlab.io/renderhookissue/ Source code here: [image] brownerd / renderhookissue GitLab.com

I tested the sample repo and I can confirm this behavior. It appears that if the .Content variable is not present in a template .RenderString does not work Not sure if this qualifies as a bug or if it works as intended. I cannot answer that. However I tried out a few things. I suggest that inste…

Ok. Good suggestion. I implemented that in my current project and it works as well. I renamed the variable to $noop.

I suggest that you share a sample project that reproduces the issue for people to look at.
