Issue with double-escaped entities in the link - hugo

I am getting double-escaped entities in the link in a post. For example, a link What's the difference becomes What’s the difference.
The problem is similar to this https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/solved-why-is-page-title-getting-double-escaped-entities/14935 however it didn't help me solve this.
Why is this happening? How do I solve it?
The code for the blog is available here - https://github.com/desecho/blog

Your renderhook:
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .Title}} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" }} target="_blank"{{ end }}>{{ .Text }}
Change it to:
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .Title}} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" }} target="_blank"{{ end }}>{{ .Text | safeHTML }}
That should do the trick.
Now, the reason why is, well Turtles all the way down, but, realize that Hugo is working with a Markdown engine "goldmark" and you have your config set "unsafe=true", but even beyond that you now have HUGO creating/building with your render hook back to markdown. Not clear to me how they all work together, but their is empirically a lot of back and forth...
So... The above should be fine.
Please test and let me know.
(Providing your code was key, and probably a note for your future-self, if the above resolves your problem, of that).
Bien suerte!

How do I avoid nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.Permalink with Hugo static site generator using range .Pages?

I'm trying to create a schema for events within a range of pages. This works fine for a single page but I'm trying to add on my list template so I have all the events. I'm getting the following error currently: nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.Permalink
....{{ define "JSON-LD" }}
{{ range .Pages }}
<script type='application/ld+json'>
{
"#context": "https://www.schema.org",
"#type": "Event",
"name": "{{.Description}}",
"url": "{{.Params.eventURL}}",
{{ with .Params.images -}}
"image": [
{{- range $index, $element := . -}}
{{- if ne $index 0 -}}, {{ end }}
{{ $image := $.Resources.GetMatch $element -}}
{{ $image.Permalink -}}
{{- end }}
],
{{ end -}}....
That error is due to the Resources.GetMatch coming back nil and therefore their is a nil pointer when you try to get {{$image.Permalink}}
{{ with }} is a good option to check for success before you try to get the Permalink.
However, the error you describe is an error you probably want as it means you have a resource not found - i.e. $element is not a valid resource in that case, which you should fix in the markdown or wherever you are getting it from as then, you have no real, at build time, way to know you have an invalid resource.
I hope that helps.

Hugo shortcode adding extra space at end of link text

I'm using a Hugo shortcode to add a class to links. We want to copy Wikipedia's style for "red links", pages that haven't been built yet but are planned.
The shortcode red-link.html looks like this:
{{ with .Get "title" }}{{.}}{{else}}{{.Get "url"}}{{end}}
When I use it in a markdown file, it looks like this:
Here is an {{< red-link title="example red link" url="#" >}}.
What I want is this (no space between link text and punctuation):
<p>Here is an example red link.</p>
What I get is this:
<p>
"Here is an "
example red link
" ."
</p>
Which ends up looking like this:
What do I need to change to remove that extra space between the end of the link and the period?
I had the same issue but the project was configured to add a new line at the end of all files. Instead of reconfiguring the project to also allow files without new lines at the end, I have found an ugly, but working solution.
Given the example of catertot, you probably have the following shotcode (notice the ending new line):
{{ blabla }}
The solution is to add a {{- "" -}} at the very end of the shortcode:
{{ blabla }}{{- "" -}}
This tells Hugo to strip any whitespace behind the link itself, resulting in a perfectly inlined shortcode without spaces.
I use a Hugo theme for my website which had a custom shortcode render-link.html file in quickstart/themes/YOUR_THEME/layouts/_default/_markup by default. The solution, as another answer points out is to add whitespace delimiters {{- /* This comment removes trailing newlines. */ -}} to your file, which removes leading and trailing whitespaces. However, in my theme, this was placed after the </a> tag, rendering it useless (see below).
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL -}}"{{ with .Title -}} title="{{ . -}}"{{ end -}}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" -}} target="_blank"{{ end -}}>{{ .Text -}}</a>{{- "" -}}
Ensure your shortcode looks as follows:
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL -}}"{{ with .Title -}} title="{{ . -}}"{{ end -}}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" -}} target="_blank"{{ end -}}>{{ .Text -}}{{- "" -}}</a>
If this does not solve the problem, consider checking your IDE settings. For example, in VS Code, you should consider disabling Settings → Files: Insert Final Newline.

Markdown render hooks extra space
In your shortcode file, remove everything, including all blank lines, below this:
{{ with .Get "title" }}{{.}}{{else}}{{.Get "url"}}{{end}}
If that doesn't get rid of that space, try using appropriate
Go Template trim-whitespace delimiters ({{- and -}}). For example, try changing the above to this:
{{ with .Get "title" -}}{{. -}}{{else -}}{{.Get "url" -}}{{end -}}
I had this problem with my years-since shortcode, which I wrote about at https://www.ii.com/hugo-tips-fragments/#_8_years_since.
I was using a custom render-link.html file containing an empty line, this was creating a new paragraph before each link included with a Shortcode.
Removing this empty line in render-link.html fixed my issue. To be clear:
Before:
<!-- Source: https://roneo.org/en/hugo-open-external-links-in-a-new-tab/ -->
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .Title}} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" }} target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" {{ end }}>{{ .Text | safeHTML }}</a>
After:
<!-- Source: https://roneo.org/en/hugo-open-external-links-in-a-new-tab/ -->
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .Title}} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" }} target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" {{ end }}>{{ .Text | safeHTML }}</a>

How can you get the full path of a page resource in Hugo?

I have some posts in Hugo with page resources that are SVG files that I want to include inline in the resulting HTML. For example, here's a typical folder structure:
content
+-- posts
+-- somepost
+-- index.md
+-- diagram.svg
In the post, I'd like to include the content of diagram.svg inline as part of the resulting HTML. Reading through another related question, I created a shortcode to do that that looks like this:
{{- readFile (.Get 0) | safeHTML -}}
However, this means that I need to provide the full path to the SVG resource, which results in this in my markdown:
{{< readsvg "content/posts/somepost/diagram.svg" >}}
Ideally, I would like the shortcode to find the page resource so that the markdown can be simplified to:
{{< readsvg "diagram.svg" >}}
If I use the page resource functions, I can get the resource itself by doing: {{ $svg := $.Page.Resources.GetMatch (.Get 0) }} but the resulting file name is relative to the resource bundle while readFile needs it to be relative to the top of the project. How can I get the full path of the resource so that I can pass it to readFile?
I tried to use absURL to do that but this doesn't work as I have custom URLs on posts.
Thanks to ruddra for pointing me in the right direction, the full answer that worked was:
{{ $svgFile := (path.Join (path.Dir .Page.File.Path) (.Get 0)) }}
{{- readFile $svgFile | safeHTML -}}
If you want more flexibility in how you specify the resource in the markdown, you can add a resource match to that solution:
{{ $svgRes := .Page.Resources.GetMatch (.Get 0) }}
{{ $svgFile := (path.Join (path.Dir .Page.File.Path) $svgRes) }}
{{- readFile $svgFile | safeHTML -}}
I think the svg file should be inside static directory. But still if you want to put it in same directory as the markdown files, probably you can use .File.Dir in the custom shortcode. Like this:
{{ $svgFile := print (.Page.File.Path) (.Get 0) }}
{{- readFile $svgFile | safeHTML -}}

Hugo post directory appearing on homepage, but not posts

For my blogdown-created website (using the Xmin theme), the posts directory - from which I can view individual posts - appears on the homepage, instead of individual posts.
https://joshuamrosenberg.com/
This seemed to happen after updating to the lastest version of Hugo. The source for my website is here. I'm a bit puzzled about what to do: do you have any advice?
This is due to a breaking change in Hugo 0.57.0, and I have fixed the issue in the latest version of the XMin theme. Basically you need to replace
{{ range (where .Data.Pages "Section" "!=" "") }}
with
{{ $pages := .Pages }}
{{ if .IsHome }}{{ $pages = .Site.RegularPages }}{{ end }}
{{ range (where $pages "Section" "!=" "") }}
in the template file layouts/_default/list.html.

Including source files from a repo in HUGO posts

I'm setting up a blog with HUGO, as a commented code repo, and I'm including source files right from the repos on the posts.
I've been able to get it to a working condition and want to improve it but I'm stuck.
What I've done
There's a .gitignore'd repos dir inside the HUGO site root, that holds the source code repos.
There's a getSourceFile.html shortcode:
{{ with .Get 0 }}
<pre><code>{{ readFile . }}</code>
<span class="source-footer">{{.}}</span>
</pre>
{{ end }}
Then, in the post I can use the shortcode like so:
#### Base/EntityTypeConfiguration.cs
Estas clases permiten manejar una clase de configuración por cada clase del modelo...
{{< getSourceFile "repos/EFCoreApp/src/EFCore.App/Base/EntityTypeConfiguration.cs" >}}
and I get this:
Which is pretty nice, since I don't have to copy and paste code, it's 100% up to date and I am sure it compiles.
But this is where I'm stuck!
What I would like to do
1) Setting up the repo root in the front matter so the shortcode is simpler to use, like so:
{{< getSourceFile "src/EFCore.App/Base/EntityTypeConfiguration.cs" >}}
2) Being able to pass the language as a parameter to the shortcode to use it in the highlighting feature, something like so (this does not work):
{{< getSourceFile "src/EFCore.App/Base/EntityTypeConfiguration.cs" "csharp" >}}
getSourceFile.html:
{{ with .Get 0 }}
```{{.Get 1}}
<pre><code>{{ readFile . }}</code>
<span class="source-footer">{{.}}</span>
</pre>
```
{{ end }}
Or better yet, infer it from the file extension! ;-)
I think it shouldn't be too difficult but this is my first experience with Hugo, Go and the Templates, so, Could someone help me with this, please?
Thanks in advance.
I finally got the answer in HUGO's dicussion forum, so I just wanted to post it here to finish the question.
This is the final shortcode:
{{ $file := .Get 0 }}
{{ $repoFilePath := printf "%s/%s" $.Page.Params.reponame $file }}
{{ $repoFile := printf "repos/%s" $repoFilePath }}
{{ $fileExt := replace (index (findRE "(\\.)\\w+$" $file) 0) "." "" }}
<pre><code class="language-{{ $fileExt }}">{{ readFile $repoFile }}</code>
<span class="source-footer">{{ $repoFilePath }}</span>
</pre>
And this even solves the language highlighting from the file extension.
