Adding a cover image prints some extra characters

[jormtz]

I was testing out the latest release with my blog, and noticed a string of characters ('>'>) being printed at the top of some pages. After messing around with my .Rmd files, I observed a pattern: only the posts with the cover option in the YAML header present this problem.

Finally, I built the example site and there it is:

I wonder: is this a bug or a problem with my local copy?
Sorry if this isn't helpful enough: this the first time I open an issue!
Cheers.

@jormtz Thanks for reporting! It should be fixed now.

Oh sweet! This was driving me crazy and I couldn't figure out what was causing it

@MunifTanjim It doesn't look like this solved it. It went from 2 '>' to 1 and replaced the favicon on my blog where I'm using cover image

Example article with cover image - https://www.singhkays.com/blog/its-time-replace-gifs-with-av1-video/
Example article without cover image and correct favicon - https://www.singhkays.com/blog/detect-rolling-credits-video-indexer/

@singhkays Probably coming from your template overrides?

[singhkays]

@MunifTanjim Any idea how I can figure this out? It only happens on articles using a cover image. I only have two overrides

layouts\partials\data\title

{{- $title := ( .Title ) -}}
{{- $siteTitle := ( .Site.Title ) -}}
{{- $sep := ( .Site.Params.seo.titleSeparator | default "•" ) -}}
{{- $title404 := ( .Site.Params.info.title404 | default $title ) -}}

{{- if .IsHome -}}
  {{ $siteTitle }}
{{- else if eq .Kind "404" -}}
  {{ $title404 }} {{ $sep }} {{ $siteTitle }}
{{- else if eq .Kind "taxonomy" -}}
  {{- ( ( i18n .Data.Singular 1 ) | default .Data.Singular ) -}}
  {{- print ": " -}}
  {{- if eq .Data.Singular "author" -}}
    {{- partial "data/author/displayName" . -}}
  {{- else -}}
    {{- $title -}}
  {{- end -}}
  {{- print " " $sep " " $siteTitle -}}
{{- else if ( or .IsNode ( eq .Section "page" ) ) -}}
  {{ $title }} {{ $sep }} {{ $siteTitle }}
{{- else -}}
  {{ $title }}
{{- end -}}

layouts\partials\head\opengraph\twitter.html

<meta name='twitter:card' content='summary_large_image'>

{{- with .Site.Params.opengraph.twitter.page -}}
  <meta name='twitter:site' content='@{{- . -}}'>
{{- end -}}

{{- range $authorID := .Params.authors -}}
  {{- $author := ( index $.Site.Data.authors $authorID ) -}}
  {{- with $author.social.twitter -}}
    <meta name='twitter:creator' content='@{{- . -}}'>
  {{- end -}}
{{- end -}}

{{- with .Params.cover -}}
  {{- $type := ( printf "%T" . ) -}}
  {{- $isMap := ( not ( eq $type "string" ) ) -}}

  {{- $image := "" -}}
  {{- if $isMap -}}
    {{- $image = .image -}}
  {{- else -}}
    {{- $image = . -}}
  {{- end -}}'>

  {{- $image = ( replaceRE "^\\./" $.RelPermalink $image ) -}}

  <meta property='twitter:image' content='{{- $image | absURL -}}'>
  {{- if $isMap -}}
    {{- with .caption -}}
    <meta property='twitter:image:alt' content='{{ . | markdownify }}'>
    {{- end -}}
  {{- end -}}
{{- end -}}

@singhkays

  {{- $image := "" -}}
  {{- if $isMap -}}
    {{- $image = .image -}}
  {{- else -}}
    {{- $image = . -}}
  {{- end -}}'> <--------------------- extra '> characters

@MunifTanjim Awesome! That fixed it
