Shortcodes not working

support
1

Hi,

I have a need in my site to be able to create columns of text (I’m using Foundation 5). I intend to create a row div, then have some text which needs to be in a columns div and then something else which will be in a columns aside, like this:

<div class="row">
<div class="large-8 columns">
Some text in here.
</div>
<aside class="large-4 columns">
My aside text here.
</aside>
</div>

So, I created 3 shortcodes in /layouts/shortcodes:

<!-- aside -->
<aside class="large-4 columns">
{{ .Inner }}
</aside>
<!-- aside -->

<!-- column -->
<div class="large-8 columns">
{{ .Inner }}
</div>
<!-- column -->

<!-- row -->
<div class="row">
{{ .Inner }}
</div>
<!-- row -->

These are to be used inside my mardown as:

{{% row %}}
{{% column %}}
This goes into a column.
{{% /column %}}

{{% aside %}}
This goes into an aside.
{{% /aside %}}
{{% /row %}}

but hugo complains:

My versions:

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.13-DEV
$ go version
go version go1.3.3 linux/amd64

So, I’ve no idea what is going on, it’s just removing the code completely. I’ve also tried adding {{printf "%#v" .}} but doesn’t do anything either.

I’ve tried updating hugo with go get -u github.com/spf13/hugo but that fails with:

# code.google.com/p/go-html-transform/h5
src/code.google.com/p/go-html-transform/h5/h5.go:30: cannot use "code.google.com/p/go.net/html/atom".Body (type "code.google.com/p/go.net/html/atom".Atom) as type "golang.org/x/net/html/atom".Atom in assignment

Thanks,
Luke.

Shortcodes cannot be nested, and I believe wasn’t added to solve THIS problem.

But I feel your pain, but this illustrates some current shortcomings of Go templates.

@tatsushid may chip in here - to say something about Ace and his Pull request, if that would solve your use case:

Actually the shortcode parser in v0.12 was nestable. I believe it’s still the case for v0.13 though it is a new parser. They are nestable within a content file. You can’t use shortcodes inside the templates, but it doesn’t look like you are doing that.

If Hugo is warning that the templates are in complete than that’s where I would start to look.

What errors do you get with hugo v0.12?

Downloaded it and installed it to the same place as my github built one:

Can you try the latest from HEAD. I think it resolved this.

Do you have a public repo that reproduces this?
