grow-ext-shortcodes

Extension for Grow allowing markdown documents to have BBCode styled shortcodes to be a bit more flexible and consistent with the default markdown syntax rather than having to fallback to {% callouts %}.

Concept

The extension works by looking for a shortcodes Python package inside your Grow pod. All contained modules get automatically imported and are searched for a module-level variable shortcode which should hold a class that is inheriting from shortcodes.Shortcode just like this:

from shortcodes import Shortcode

class StageShortcode(Shortcode):
    name = 'stage'
    prerender_markdown = True
    template = 'partials/stage.j2'

shortcode = StageShortcode

Please see shortcodes.Shortcode or one of the examples for all the available hooks and functions.
