question: jinja shortcode tmpl? (seems to only work using mako)

[Fuzzwah]

The shortcodes template exmaple shows using jinja2 in the template file:

https://getnikola.com/extending.html#template-based-shortcodes

I have created a file shortcodes/image.tmpl and am trying to use the shortcode in an .rts file:

{{% image src=https://farm1.staticflickr.com/138/352972944_4f9d568680.jpg %}}

However I can't get jinja2 templates to work. Example:

<img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail img-rounded" style="margin-bottom: 10px" src="{{src}}">

However it works fine if I use mako style templating:

<img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail img-rounded" style="margin-bottom: 10px" src="${src}">

Is there something that I'm missing?

I now notice that the handbook only talks about mako. Bums me out that jinja2 used to be supported too (as I have experience with jinja2 but mako is new to me... seems similar enough that it won't be hard to get my head around, but I'm using jinja2 for other templating on the same site already).

Jinja2 templates are still supported. Theming documentation still mentions
them, and we still ship and support base-jinja and bootstrap3-jinja.
Template-based shortcodes use the same template system your current theme uses.
So if you want Jinja2, make sure you're using a Jinja2-based theme.

@Fuzzwah like @Kwpolska said, to use jinja shortcuts, use a jinja theme, and it will work. The docs say more about Mako because it's the one I use, and I wrote most of those docs :-)

Jinja is just as much a 1st-class citizen as Mako, we have no mako-specific features anywhere.
