Specify Converter in Front Matter

[andyl]

Thanks very much for 0.18, especially for the ability to specify a converter module in config.exs. (eg md: MyMdConverter, ...).

I ran into a problem while migrating elixir-lang.org from Jekyll to Tableau:

• elixir-lang.org uses Liquid templates
• I have run into bugs with Elixir's Liquid processor (called Solid)
• The bugs occur with Liquid tags for conditionals and loops, maybe others
• When these bugs are encountered, it would be nice to just rewrite the broken page using EEx tags

With Tableau, AFAIK it's possible to set a default Layout module in config.exs, then override the layout with page front-matter.

Feature request: analogous to Layouts, allow the Converter to be set with front-matter

---
title: "My Page" 
layout: MyApp.CustomLayout
permalink: /mypage
converter: MyApp.CustomConverter
---
# Hello World
....

Seems reasonable.

If you can reproduce the bugs in solid could you report those to the project? Just to be a good citizen 🫡

[andyl]

can you report?

FYI here's the first one. edgurgel/solid#144 More to come.
