Make the template more configurable
thibaultamartin opened this issue · 3 comments
It would be very helpful to be able to set:
- How section are rendered (variable available:
{{section.emoji}}
,{{section.title}}
) - How projects are rendered (variables available:
{{project.emoji}}
,{{project.title}}
,{{project.website}}
,{{project.description}}
)
It would typically allow people to have sections that are h2 title in markdown and not h1 title by declaring them as ## {{section.title}}
and to change how project titles are rendered, e.g. as ### {{project.title}} ([link]({{project.website}}))
It looks like the simplest solution is to add a section_title_template
and a project_title_template
in the config.toml
, but it can also be confusing to get a config file with bits of templating, and a separate template.md
file.
Another solution to keep code fairly clean would be to have three distinct template files: report_template.md
, section_template.md
and project_template.md
.
report_template.md
would look like:
---
title: "#{{weeknumber}} This Week in X"
author: {{author}}
date: {{today}}
tags: [{{projects}}]
categories: ["weekly-update"]
draft: false
---
Update on what happened across the X project in the week from {{timespan}}.
{{sections}}
# That’s all for this week!
See you next week!
section_template.md
would look like:
# {{section.title}} {{section.emoji}}
{{projects}}
And finally project_template.md
would look like:
### {{project.title}} [↗]({{project.website}})
{{project.description}}
{{news}}
+1 for this - e.g. I just patched my fork to use h2 for section headers at the request of our content editor - would be nice not to have to :)

works for me 👍
