Markdown content it's not being rendered as HTML

[zenorocha]

Hey guys,

I have a list of markdown files under /documents folder.
And I want to list them inside of a layout, like:

<% for item in @getCollection('documents'): %>
    <%= item.content %>
<% end %>

But the markdown content it's not being rendered as html.
I'm using docpad-plugin-marked and here's the project structure.

• /documents
  • abc.html.md
  • def.html.md
  • ghi.html.md
• /layouts
  • default.html.eco

Full project link.

Thanks!

Hey mate, few things could be going on:

<% for item in @getCollection('documents'): %>
    <%= item.content %>
<% end %>

will need to be:

<% for item in @getCollection('documents').toJSON(): %>
    <%= item.content %>
<% end %>

or

<% @getCollection('documents').forEach (item) ->: %>
    <%= item.get('content') %>
<% end %>

as we are dealing with backbone collections and models.

The other thing is that you'll probably want to use contentRenderedWithoutLayouts or contentRendered instead of content as the content variable is subject to change during the rendering process. More on the available properties and their meanings here: http://bevry.me/learn/docpad-meta-data

Great! It worked with <%- item.contentRenderedWithoutLayouts %>.

Thanks a lot @balupton =D
