Shortcodes

This is a parser for the shortcode spec as explained in the Hugo docs and used in Hugo and Nikola. Approximately.

I am implementing this for Nicolino.

It probably won't be 100% identical, but I'll try to make it as close as practical.

  • Implemented in Ragel + C for performance
  • Allocates no memory, because all strings are references to pieces of input.

What works:

  • Detect shortcodes with names
  • Standalone and matched shortcodes
  • Capture data between tags in matched shortcodes
  • Capture arguments with and without names
  • Capture values with and without quotes (with details, see TODO above)
