Adding other markup formats about grow HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @lgiordani !

Unfortunately with grow we didn't add in any way of extending out the main document formats, as you can see in the code that you linked to.

One thing you can do is make an extension that handles the parsing. (see https://grow.dev/extensions/create/). You could make a hook in your extension using the PreRenderHook to take the raw input, process it with your mau language, and then return the new value from the hook. This will update content of the page before it gets rendered to the build files. This would affect all the documents content though, so it may be more than you want.

Another option is to be able to selectively use the language by creating a jinja2 filter that you could pass content to for rendering. ex: {{doc.content|mau}}.

Thanks @Zoramite for the quick answer, and for giving me some options.

I think a quick and dirty solution for might is to leverage Mau's CLI and to preprocess files into HTML, and to feed those to Grow. Not the best solution but not a terrible one either.

Speaking of which, I see Grow supports preprocessors, but I understand there is nothing that can run arbitrary bash scripts, am I right? Do you think that would be easier for me to implement?
