Add the delimiter to the context into the render-passthrough

[KopiasCsaba]

Hi There,

Thank you for making hugo, it is awesome, just as you are guys.

I'd like to request a feature, to include the delimiter as well upon rendering the passthrough template.

I think it could be useful to know from where we are called, is it a :foo: or a +bar+ or even a [foobar].

Thank you!

I think it could be useful to know from where we are called, is it a :foo: or a +bar+ or even a [foobar].

Do you have a specific example of one such useful use case?

This has been discussed, and to me

• The delimiter is a configuration things, e.g. dependent on the content, and not something you can use in the templates (except in the simplest of setups)
• We will probably want to add support for multiple passthrough configurations, so you would get math, inline and block and somethingelse ...

Not sure, but I think we need to wait on this particular issue until someone comes up with a real and convincing use case.

Thank you for your insight!

My usecase is that i want to support emojis, but on my own way with emojicss, to make sure all emojis look the same no matter which browser, etc.

I also want to keep the :foo: format, not using a shortcode that has a bit more cumbersome format.

So for now until i only do this, I'm good, but I was wondering, if i'd want to create something else, similarly, then it isn't seem to be possible.

Lets say i want the math things and the emoji things, then I can't put in an if to see which delimiter was matched.

I've checked hugo's source and it would seem quite trivial to do this:

Just include delim in the context and we are good to go (i think, without deep knowledge of things in there, yet).

On the other hand I like your idea as well, if i could say, something like:

markup:
  goldmark:
    extensions:
      passthrough:
        enable: true
        renderers:
          math:
            inline: false
            delimiters: ['[',']','+','+']
          emojis:
            math:
              inline: true
              delimiters: [ ':',':' ]

That could be a nicer solution indeed. Although, there might still be a passthrough renderer that want to know which delimiter triggered it. E.g. The math thing might use a different notation or what ever based on [foo] or +foo+.

Cheers!
