I am aware you can add and use html page custom front matter fields using the {{ page.myField }} directive but this does not work for posts (i.e. when iterating site.posts in a for loop.
My problem, what I have done ...
I created a new post in _posts with a .md extension containing new custom front matter fields (it is published and refixed correctly with date) - Seems correct
I loop all the posts using {% for post in site.posts %} - This works
When I attempt to use these using a liquid tag {{ post.myNewField }} it is not available but does show in post.content as text not a useable field.
Surely this cannot be correct. I would assume anything in the markdown in the front matter section should be accessible, as it seems to say so in the Jekyll front matter instruction
http://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/#custom-variables
Please help.
cause of my issue was UTF-8-DOM encoding when it should have just been UTF-8 encoding for .md files

I have a simple model for blog posts with a TextField, I save my posts in html format via Django admin interface. But my posts often include hyperlinks to other blog post pages like click here, the number and target of links in a post vary. What is the easy way to insert those urls dynamically in Django admin panel (like template tags used in templates)?
I found an answer, I think this can be done with using builtin url tags like {% url 'blog:posts' 123 %} in my text, saving the text as a template and rendering it again. Either in the view or in the template with a custom template filter.
I'm trying to render a Block's Field as Plain Text as I need it used as part of HTML, I've tried using |RAW however I read it was unstable + it didn't work haha!
This is my existing HTML minified

This would mean that when a user modifies the DrupalBlock HEX code it would change the color of the box. However the issues is when it's printed on the page it's looking like this
<div data-quickedit-field-id="#" class="field field--name-field-color field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item quickedit-field">FFFFFF</div>
the only thing I would like printed is "FFFFFF" with no div's

Here is my question: How do I display my Field_color as plain text when it prints?
You can use |raw : {{ content.field_color|raw }}.
If you need more information please ask.
I suggest you do a dump or kint of your content.field_color variable. You might be able to get some more information on it and get the answer!
Anyway, we have something similar in our project and the way we do it is by using a .getString() method.
{% set image_align = content.field_image_align['#items'][0].getString() %}
<div class="{{ image_align }}">
Our field is a list of values so you'll have to look for another array item to call the .getString() method on.
With a grails app and from a local database, I'm returning some text in a xml format.
I can return it well formed in a <textarea></textarea> tag with the correct indenting (tabulation, line return,...etc.)
I want to go a bit further. In the text I'm returning, there are some <img/> tags and I'd like to replace those tag by the real images themselves.
I searched around and found no solution as of now. I understood that you can't add an image to a textarea (other then in a background), and if I choose a div tag, I won't have the indenting anymore (and therefore, harder to read)
I was wondering if using a <g:textField/> or an other tag from the grails library will do the trick. And if so, How can I append them to a page using jquery.
For example, how to append a <g:textField/> in jquery. It doesn't interpret it and I get this error
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list [Break On This Error]...+doc).append("<input type="text" id="FTMAP_"+nb_sec+"" ...
And in my javascript file, I have
$("#FTM_"+doc).append("<g:textField id='FTMAP_"+nb_sec+"' ... />
Any possible solutions ?
EDIT
I did forget to mention that my final intentions are to be able to modify the text (tags included) and to have a nice and neat indentation so that it is the easiest possible for the end user.
You are asking a few different questions:
1. Can I use a single HTML tag to include images inside pre-formatted text.
No. You will have to parse the text and translate it into styled text yourself.
2. Is there a tag in the grails standard tags to accomplish this for me?
No.
3. How can I add grails tags from my javascript code.
Grails tags are processed on the server-side, and javascript is processed on the client. This means you cannot directly add grails tags via javascript.
There are a couple methods that can accomplish the same result, however:
You can set a javascript variable to the rendered content of a grails tag. This solution is good for data that is known at the time of the initial request.
var tagOutput = "${g.textField(/* etc */)}";
You can make an ajax request for the content to be added. Then your server-side grails code can render the tags you need. This is better for realtime data, or data that will be updated more than once on a single rendered page.
I'm using the Liquid templating engine to display a summarised series of posts - at the moment I have something along these lines:
{% for page in site.posts %}
{{page.content | truncatewords: 100}}
{% endfor %}
The page content contains HTML, and using truncatewords can cause invalid HTML to be inserted in the output. I don't want to remove all of the HTML from the content (embedded videos and images should be visible), and ideally all I want is for the appropriate closing tags to be added.
I can see that merely truncating isn't going to achieve my expected outcome, so my question is: How can I truncate my HTML in order to output valid markup using Liquid?
Update
A very specific problem is that I have a code sample that's marked-up using Pigments. Now, if the truncation occurs in the middle of the code sample, it leaves several tags open, messing up the rest of the page. I'm looking for a way to truncate these posts without removing all of the code sample - just to truncate and close all open tags in the content body.
OK, so after not being able to find much in the way of doing this on the web, I cooked up my own solution utilising Nokogiri and a depth-first traversal of the parsed HTML node tree.
TruncateHTML is a simple script that allows a snippet of HTML to be truncated while preserving a valid structure.
I'd like to have a link generated with BlueCloth that opens in a new window. All I could find was the ordinary [Google](http://www.google.com/) syntax but nothing with a new window.
Ideas?

Here is a complete reference for markdown: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
And since there is no mention of how to set the target attribute, I would believe it is not directly possible, but the reference also says:
For any markup that is not covered by
Markdown’s syntax, you simply use HTML
itself. There’s no need to preface it
or delimit it to indicate that you’re
switching from Markdown to HTML; you
just use the tags.
Source: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html
So I would suggest you have to use the html syntax for links like this
update
if you wrap the markdown generated content in a div with a specific id like this:
and you use jQuery, you can add the following javascript:
$('#some_id a').attr('target','_blank');
Or you can save the BlueCloth output in a variable before outputting.
markdown_generated_string.gsub!(/<a\s+/i,'<a target="_blank" ')
