Description: Lektor Shortcodes
        =================
        
        [![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/lektor-shortcodes.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lektor-shortcodes)
        
        The Lektor Shortcodes plugin allows you to use shortcodes (shortcodes are
        something like custom tags) in your fields (not templates), so your content
        doesn't have to have repetitive snippets over and over.
        
        For example, my blog has some specific HTML that I add when I want an image with
        a border and caption to be displayed.  The HTML looks like this:
        
        
        ~~~html
            <div class="alignright">
                <a href="image-large.jpg">
                    <img src="image.jpg" />
                    <span class="caption">The caption</span>
                </a>
            </div>
        ~~~
        
        Copy-pasting this every time gets tedious, and I have to search and replace it
        in all the content files every time I want to make a change.  With the
        shortcodes plugin, this can be written as:
        
        ~~~
        [% image align=right link="image-large.jpg" image=image.jpg caption="The caption" %]
        ~~~
        
        Much easier, cleaner and less repetitive.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        To install the plugin, just add `lektor-shortcodes` to your plugins from the
        command line:
        
        ~~~
        lektor plugins add lektor-shortcodes
        ~~~
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Using the plugin is simple. Just create a config file called `shortcodes.ini` in
        your `configs` directory and specify some shortcode templates. The templates are
        full Jinja templates, although (due to some limitations of ini files) they need
        to be on one line.
        
        For instance, for the example above, the config file could be:
        
        ~~~ini
        [global]
        image = '<div class="align{{ align }}">{% if link %}<a href="{{ link }}"{% if not link.startswith("http") %} data-lightbox="gallery"{% endif %}>{% endif %}<img src="{{ image }}">{% if link %}</a>{% endif %}{% if caption %}<span class="caption">{{ caption }}</span>{% endif %}</div>'
        ~~~
        
        This will allow you to use shortcodes with optional arguments, like so:
        
        ~~~
        # An image with no caption or link:
        [% image align=right image=hello.jpg %]
        
        
        # An image with a link:
        [% image align=right link=http://www.example.com image=hello.jpg %]
        
        # Link and caption:
        [% image align=right link=http://www.example.com image=hello.jpg caption="Hello!" %]
        ~~~
        
        Shortcodes defined within the section named `global` will be processed
        automatically inside any of your site’s Markdown content. It is also possible to
        define shortcodes which are only expanded when the Jinja2 template for a page
        explicitly requests it. Shortcodes defined in any section not named `global`
        will only be applied when the template passed the content through a Jinja2
        filter named `shortcode`. For example, if your HTML template references a field
        called `body`, you may request expanding shortcodes defined within the
        `body-only` section of your config file, like so:
        
        ~~~
        {{ body|shortcodes(section="body-only") }}
        ~~~
        
        This will enable all shortcodes from the specified section, in addition to all
        globally defined shortcodes. If no section is specified, the filter defaults to
        the section named `main`.
