Possible to get liquid page values in template

[xubeisi]

hi, @inukshuk It's a awesome plugin you guys developed!

Recently, I modified the template a little so they could automatically underline the defined authors.

Such as

code example here site.scholar.first_names_team

my goal is each page could use the same bib template but highlight different authors.

However, it doesn't seems possible to pass page values to in template such as _layouts/bib.html. I tried read the code, seems only "entry" stored data.

thus wondering for a query like

{% bibliography -f {{ bibfile }} --template bib -q @*[year={{y}}]* %}

is it possible to pass some parameters like

{% bibliography -f {{ bibfile }} --template bib -q @*[year={{y}}]* --values "first_authors_to_highlight:Author1,Author2" %}

then in template.html, {{ site.scholar.first_authors_to_highlight }} would be "Author1,Author2"

Thank you!

Good question!

There's currently no tag parameter we specifically pass-through. However, you mentioned you would like set these parameters per page, so I was curious if the page's front-matter config is accessible by the templates. It currently isn't, but it would be easy to expose it (see commit above). Would that work for you?

hi, Sylvester, that's great! I thought that's not possible thus I was seeking for solutions by pass variables. What you proposed were much better if it could be done. Thank you for considering that!!

The test passes fine, so this should work OK. I'll make a point release for you to try out.
