Specify Converter in Front Matter

andyl commented 7 hours ago

Thanks very much for 0.18, especially for the ability to specify a converter module in config.exs. (eg md: MyMdConverter, ...).

I ran into a problem while migrating elixir-lang.org from Jekyll to Tableau:

elixir-lang.org uses Liquid templates
I have run into bugs with Elixir's Liquid processor (called Solid)
The bugs occur with Liquid tags for conditionals and loops, maybe others
When these bugs are encountered, it would be nice to just rewrite the broken page using EEx tags

With Tableau, AFAIK it's possible to set a default Layout module in config.exs, then override the layout with page front-matter.

Feature request: analogous to Layouts, allow the Converter to be set with front-matter

---
title: "My Page" 
layout: MyApp.CustomLayout
permalink: /mypage
converter: MyApp.CustomConverter
---
# Hello World
....

Seems reasonable.

If you can reproduce the bugs in solid could you report those to the project? Just to be a good citizen 🫡
