pip install shrtcodes

Simple shortcodes for Python.

Example

Text containing shortcodes.

• img - a shortcode.
• details - a paired shortcode.

Foo bar baz.

{% img "https://images.com/cutedog.jpg", "A cute dog!" %}

{% details "Some extra info" %}
This is some extra info.
{% enddetails %}

Foo bar baz.

Build a process function:

# shortcodes.py

from shrtcodes.shrtcodes import make_process

# `img_handler` is a shortcode handler. 
#   * Arguments correspond to the shortcode parameters.  
def img_handler(src, alt):
    return f'<img src="{src}" alt="{alt}"/>'

# `details_handler` is a paired shortcode handler.
#   * First argument is the contained block.
#   * Subsequent arguments correspond to the shortcode parameters.
def details_handler(details, summary):
    return f'<details><summary>{summary}</summary>{details}</details>'

# Call `make_process` with: 
#   * A dict of shortcode handlers.
#   * A dict of paired shortcode handlers.
process = make_process({
    'img': img_handler
}, {
    'details': details_handler
})

Use your process function:

from shortcodes import process
text = process('...')

Output:

Foo bar baz.

<img src="https://images.com/cutedog.jpg" alt="A cute dog!"/>

<details><summary>Some extra info</summary>This is some extra info.</details>

Foo bar baz.
