Heya, see #831, I agree that the attribution should be parsed as MyST
would give me ...
I'm not sure about acheiving this though; I agree that this looks to be a better HTML representation (like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote), but I think it would require changes to the upstream HTML renderer; https://github.com/live-clones/docutils/blob/master/docutils/docutils/writers/_html_base.py
BTW I'm sorry if I've accidentally circumvented some kind of community process as the message of the bot insinuates. I just clicked "new issue" in the docs and search the issues for "attribution" (and found nothing).
as the message of the bot insinuates
Oh no, this just gets fired for every first-time contributor 😄
Yeah I didn't feel attacked specifically, I'm just seeing mentions of issue templates (I had none) etc. :)
@hynek would #831 be sufficient for you at this time?
I could potentially add something like a cite
attribute that is "stored" on the block_quote
node:
{attribution="Hyrum Wright", cite="https://www.hyrumslaw.com/"}
> With a sufficient number
But, as I mention above, I don't think this would currently propagate to the actual output HTML
Would #831 mean I can do:
{attribution="Hyrum Wright, [Hyrum’s Law](https://www.hyrumslaw.com>)"}
> With a sufficient number
And get:
<blockquote>
<p>With a sufficient number…</p>
<cite>— Hyrum Wright, <a href="https://www.hyrumslaw.com">Hyrum’s Law</a></cite>
</blockquote>
?
I don't care that much about the cite attribute because I don't think anyone is actually using it? I primarily want to be able to have richer citations in the cite tag. :)
Would https://github.com/executablebooks/MyST-Parser/pull/831 mean I can do
yep 👍 see the updated example in https://myst-parser--831.org.readthedocs.build/en/831/syntax/optional.html#attributes
Well, perfect!
I would like to use
attrs_block
attributions for my block quotes but it seems like I can't have a title and a link in there. If I use a Markdown link, it's used verbatim, if I use an HTML link, the attrs line is rendered verbatim.Ideally it would be a separate attribute:
would give me:
