custom front matter to support a list of elements
Titan-C opened this issue · comments
The :EXPORT_HUGO_CUSTOM_FRONT_MATTER: property supports key value pairs. The value is a string. I happen to need a list of elements in the value.
My current workaround is to use for a toml front matter
:EXPORT_HUGO_CUSTOM_FRONT_MATTER: :animals [\"dog\" \, \"cat\", \, \"penguin\"]
Is there a possibility to directly use a list
:EXPORT_HUGO_CUSTOM_FRONT_MATTER: :animals '("dog" "cat" "penguin")
I hadn't yet planned to support list values. I am glad to see that at least there's a workaround for that.
I use org-babel-parse-header-arguments to parse that whole property. Let me see over this week if a more elegant solution is possible.
For reference, here's the current code that parses those properties.
I quickly tried:
(org-hugo--parse-property-arguments ":a '(b \"c d\")")and it works as expected.
So below (you wouldn't even need to double quote list elements):
:EXPORT_HUGO_CUSTOM_FRONT_MATTER: :animals '(dog cat penguin)
should be easy to get working.
I am putting implementing this at the top of my list.
@Titan-C Try the latest version from the master (or the next update on Melpa in few hours). Let me know if it works for your use case now.
Test cases:
Thank you for this improvement. I downloaded from Melpa and it works perfectly for my current use case.
