Neopolitan: Explicit Content Tags

January 2024

The implict tags identify a specific subset of functionality to map to. Explict tags can be used for anything.

There are two formats for tagsx:

<<TYPE|CONTENT>>

and

<<TYPE|CONTENT|ATTRIBUTES>>

No Attributes

An example without an attribute is:

<<strong|Tango Foxtrot>>

Output

<strong>Tango Foxtrot</strong>

Single Attribute

The way I do link on my site shows a single attribute:

<<link|Tango Foxtrot|example.com>>

Output

<a href="example.com">Tango Foxtrog</a>

Multiple Attributes

Extra attributes can be passed as well through the use of the | pipe.

<<link|Tango Foxtrot|example.com|class: delta>>

Output

<a href="example.com" class="delta">
  Tango Foxtrog
</a>

Tag Functionality

Neopolitan tags don't have to have an explicit mapping to an HTML element. For example, I use ilink for internal links on my site like this:

<<ilink|Tango Foxtrot|a1b2c3d4>>

My rending engine knows to turn that ID into whatever the path for that specific file is. In my case that would go to /pages/a1b2c3d4/ but if I change that ID to have an explicit path or change the structure, everytything would just update automatically once the engine gets the new logic
