Can I use textile new lines in shortcodes?

I have created a shortcode for quotes that automatically adds a class around the quote. In the article I use:

<txp::quote quote=“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.”/>

This is the output form for quote:

<blockquote>
<div class=“some_class”><txp:yield name=“quote” escape=“tidy, textile” /></div>
</blockquote>

In reality, the output form is more complex, but I have simplified it for use here.

What I would like to do is add a new line to the quote. I can do that by adding <p>, like this:

<txp::quote quote=“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p><p>Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.”/>

Or <br />, like this:

<txp::quote quote=“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.<br /><br />Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.”/>

But I would really like to be able to make use of textile, like this:

<txp::quote quote=“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.”/>

However, when I do this, I get this output on the front page:

<txp::quote quote=“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.”/>

I have tried different escapes but can’t figure it out. Is this actually possible? If so, how?

Re: Can I use textile new lines in shortcodes?

Would not be more possibilities using container form mode instead of inline self-closed forms? Like

<txp::quote> complex quote </txp::quote>

Yes, exactly what Vienuolis says. Use a container and drop the name="quote" in your yield. That should work a treat.

Thanks Vienuolis and Bloke.

Actually, the real output form is a bit more complex. This is what the output looks like.

<figure class="attention my-5">
<blockquote class="blockquote" cite="URL">
<div class="blockquote-text"><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p><p>Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p></div>
</blockquote>
<figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
<span>NAME</span>, JOB
</figcaption>
</figure>

And this is the shortcode:

<txp::quote quote="" name="" job="" cite_url=""/>

I want to make it as straightforward as possible for users, who most likely will be unfamiliar with html.

Re: Can I use textile new lines in shortcodes?

Having newlines in attributes (and their further textiling) is not a problem per se. But:

  • if the shortcode is used in an article body/excerpt, make sure it is left untouched (i.e. not textiled). Otherwise the tag will be output literally, as in your OP. This is a textile parser problem, we don’t really get our hands on it.
  • Don’t use tidy in escape, its role is the opposite of what you need.

Thank you. What escape would you suggest?

Thanks.

This seems to work.

<txp::quote_copy name="NAME" job="JOB" cite_url="URL"> complex quote </txp::quote_copy>

THANKS to all!

Re: Can I use textile new lines in shortcodes?

Here is a shortcode I’m using for users:

<figure class="blockquote">
	<blockquote <txp:if_yield name="source">cite="<txp:yield name="source" />" </txp:if_yield>class="<txp:yield name="style" />">
		<p><txp:yield name="texte" escape="tidy,textile,trim" /></p>
		<txp:if_yield name="author"><figcaption><cite>— <txp:yield name="author" escape="tidy,textile" /></cite></figcaption></txp:if_yield>
	</blockquote>
</figure>

Details:

The first escape="tidy,textile,trim" to remove <p> tags and allow Textile markup;
The second escape="tidy,textile" to allow Textile markup;
The extra class CSS attribute to allow different visual styling for blockquotes.

Here is a sample result (from 3 different visual choices) in Dark Mode:

Thanks, Pat. Beautiful lay-out!

This is my current code:

<figure class="attention my-5">
<blockquote class="blockquote"<txp:if_yield name="cite_url">cite="<txp:yield name="cite_url" />"</txp:if_yield>>
<div<txp:if_yield name="job"> class="blockquote-text"</txp:if_yield>><p><txp:yield escape="textile" /></p></div>
</blockquote>
<figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
<span><txp:yield name="name" /></span><txp:if_yield name="job">, <txp:yield name="job" /></txp:if_yield>
</figcaption>
</figure>

And the shortcode:

<txp::quote name="" job="" cite_url=""> quote </txp::quote>

If there is no job, there is different styling (as class=“blockquote-text” is removed).
