[SOLVED] Curly Brackets Not Rendering

support
1

I’m getting an error trying to use the templating tags.

For example, if I put this in my Markdown file

{{ with .Site.LanguageCode }}{{ . }}{{ else }}en-US{{ end }}

I get this output:

<p>{{ with .Site.LanguageCode }}{{ . }}{{ else }}en-US{{ end }}</p>

It doesn’t run the function.

You cannot do that.

You can have only Shortcodes ({{< foo >}} or {{% bar %}}) in content files.

The Go templating snippet you pasted would work only in layout files (files in layouts/ or themes/).

Sweet, thanks!

If you were writing this in a template, a bit more succinct form of the above is:

{{ .Site.LanguageCode | default "en-us" }}
