Dealing with file extensions other than chtml #6

Closed slisznia closed 9 years ago

slisznia commented 9 years ago

We have template files that are TXT or Markdown, .txt .md respectively. Unfortunately they are not located by chunk, which insists on chtml. Being a generic, non-html specific engine, this appears to be an unnecessary limitation.

What is the suggested way of handling non-html text files?

tomj74 commented 9 years ago

I believe either of these will work:

textChunk = theme.makeChunk("filename.txt"); textChunk = theme.makeChunk("filename", "txt"); mdChunk = theme.makeChunk("filename.md"); mdChunk = theme.makeChunk("filename", "md");

Thanks!

If you have snippets of content defined inside those files a la {#snippet}an extra chunk of template{#} then you can even refer to those directly like so:

Chunk mdChunklet = theme.makeChunk("filename.md#snippet");

Perhaps this paragraph can be relaxed and/or updated with the info you just provided:

Ah, thanks. This was a fairly recent change, and I missed updating that piece of the docs. Fixed!
