Liquid template language

Doctave supports the Liquid template language for attaching custom rendering logic within Markdown documents. Most common usage includes templating and control flow.

Note: all features of liquid may not be supported.

Templating

include

Insert the rendered content of another template within the current template.

{% include "template-name" %}

Include is most commonly used when reusing content.

Control flow

if

Executes a block of code only if a certain condition is true.

{% if product.title == "Awesome Shoes" %}
  These shoes are awesome!
{% endif %}

These shoes are awesome!

If statements and control flow are most commonly used with user preferences to allow creating dynamic content.

unless

The opposite of if – executes a block of code only if a certain condition is not met.

{% unless product.title == "Awesome Shoes" %}
  These shoes are not awesome.
{% endunless %}

These shoes are not awesome.

This would be the equivalent of doing the following:

{% if product.title != "Awesome Shoes" %}
  These shoes are not awesome.
{% endif %}

elsif / else

Adds more conditions within an if or unless block.

{% if customer.name == "kevin" %}
  Hey Kevin!
{% elsif customer.name == "anonymous" %}
  Hey Anonymous!
{% else %}
  Hi Stranger!
{% endif %}

Hey Anonymous!
