This Python library supports customizable WordPress-style shortcodes with space-separated positional and keyword arguments:
[% tag arg1 key=arg2 %]
Arguments containing spaces can be enclosed in quotes:
[% tag "arg 1" key="arg 2" %]
Shortcodes can be atomic, as above, or can enclose a block of content between opening and closing tags:
[% tag %] ... [% endtag %]
Block-scoped shortcodes can be nested to any depth. Innermost shortcodes are processed first:
[% tag %] ... content with [% more %] shortcodes ... [% endtag %]
Shortcode syntax is customizable:
<tag arg="foo"> ... </tag>
Installation
Install from the Python package index using pip:
$ pip install shortcodes
Alternatively, you can incorporate the shortcodes.py file directly into your application. The library is entirely self-contained and its code has been placed in the public domain. You can find the code on Github here.
Note that this library requires Python 3.
