allow array type for shortcodes

[piedoom]

I'm creating an album shortcode that contains an arbitrary amount of images. It'd be very nice to be able to just go something like:

{{ album(paths=["file1.jpg", "file2.jpg", "file3.jpg"]) }}

Because arrays are ignored, the next best solution that I can imagine is something like defining manually different amounts for different shortcodes, i.e. album2, album3, album4, and so on.

Yep definitely something I want, just need to fix the markdown renderer first!

Another workaround should be to provide a splittable string and an optionally overridable separator.

{{ album(paths="file1.jpg,file2.jpg,file3.jpg", sep=",") }}

But I'd also agree that we need self-definable arrays (not only in shortcodes, but supported by tera in general).

Anyone know of an example Shortcode that takes an array as an argument?

I have a super neat idea for a shortcode, and passing an array to it will make things much easier.

It should work as expected in the original comment?

YEP! it works, I made an image hover comparison shortcode: imghover
