Text Plugin for DocPad

This plugin allows you to render variables within templateData using text elements

E.g. if you have this in your docpad.cson

{
	templateData:
		firstname: 'Benjamin'
		lastname: 'Lupton'
		fullname: '<t>firstname</t> <t>lastname</t>'
		markdownExample: '<t render="markdown">this is so **awesome**</t>'
		markdownEcoExample: '<t render="md.eco">here is a random number: **<%- Math.random() %>**</t>'
}

Doing the following inside a document:

My creator's firstname is: <t>firstname</t>
My creator's lastname is: <t>lastname</t>
My creator's fullname is: <t>fullname</t>
The markdown example is: <t>markdownExample</t>
The markdown eco example is: <t>markdownEcoExample</t>

Will output:

My creator's firstname is: Benjamin
My creator's lastname is: Lupton
My creator's fullname is: Benjamin Lupton
The markdown example is: this is so <strong>awesome</strong>
The markdown eco example is: here is a random number: <strong>0.5123213213123</strong>

Which is incredibly useful for abstracting out common generic pieces of text from your templates and placing them inside your configuration files. A common use case for this is easy configurability of skeletons, as well as easier translation of your website.

If you are embedding a text block into a text block, it is best that you name your text block like so <t:myName>blah</t:myName> that way our parser won't get confused as easily :)

To use it with coffeekup you'll do it like so tag 'text', {render:"md"}, "your **markdown** content". More info here..

Alternatively, you can use the t template helper like so @t('*markdown*', {render="markdown"})

Install

To use this plugin with DocPad, simply run npm install docpad-plugin-text inside your website's directory. You'd probably also want to add "docpad-plugin-text": "latest" to your package.json dependencies.
