How to represent HTML/XML in YAML
So I nearly threw my laptop across the room in a violent rage trying to figure this out. Thankfully I didn’t and rather scoured the googles for a solution. Upon finding it, beautiful music rang from the heavens and a solitary ray of sunshine beamed down on me.
I don’t know if it’s something people rarely try to do or if it’s just hard to find but I thought I would post it here in hopes that the next poor sap who attempts to do so has a bit easier going.
The Tricki-Tikki-Tavi
The trick (if it can be qualified as that) is to use !xml | and some proper spacing like so:
law_news_category:
theme_id: 1
filename: news.category.liquid
data: !xml |
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>{{ site.name }} // University of Notre Dame</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="news">
<h1><a href="/news/">News</a> » <span class="category_name">{{ category.name }}</span></h1>
{% for item in news %}
<div class="news">
<h2>{{ item | link_to_news }}</h2>
<h3>{{ item.published_at | strftime: '%B %d, %Y'}}</h3>
<div class="excerpt">
{{ item.excerpt }}
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{{ news | will_paginate: path }}
</div>
</body>
</html>
creator_id: 3
updater_id: 3
If you line up the html with the !xml, you will be good as gold. Phew. Now back to my regularly scheduled programming.
