Liquid includes of templates with HTML code

[rkratky]

When my Jekyll page includes (using the Liquid include tag) a template with HTML code, the HTML code gets converted by the AsciiDoctor processor, thus not rendering the HTML code as expected. Example:

page.adoc

---
front matter
---

:page-liquid:

{% include file.html %}

file.html

<p>{{ site.time }}</p>

This renders as:

<p>2018-07-24 11:47:17 -0500</p>

But it would be great to have a way to instruct the plugin to render it as expected, i.e.:

2018-07-24 11:47:17 -0500

It can be achieved by using the passthrough macro, i.e., for example:

+++{% include file.html %}+++

But that seems clunky.

Actually, it would be:

++++
{% include file.html %}
++++

This is by design per the AsciiDoc language. You are including HTML into AsciiDoc. AsciiDoc only allows raw HTML if included in a passthrough block.

I'll make a mention of this in the docs.

Other approach would be to use a custom block macro in Asciidoctor, which itself would include the content into the document tree. That might look like:

liquid::file.html[]

[rkratky]

Thanks.

liquid::file.html[]

That would be very nice.

You're free to implement it using the Asciidoctor extension API. Here's an example to follow: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/gist-block-macro/extension.rb
