ensure_right doesn't work with |

[tao]

Bug Description

I'm working on SEO titles for my website, the common convention is to use title | site name. I'm overriding some of my pages and want to fall back to site name when I break something... I want to avoid | site name in the title.

I thought I'd use ensure_right to get around this:

<title>{{ title ensure_right=" |" }} {{ config:app:name }}</title>

However, I found this doesn't work. I assume | is reserved for use in conditional statements or the parser is getting confused about it. Although I found that & works fine.

With different characters it works as expected:

<title>{{ title ensure_right=" @" }} {{ config:app:name }}</title>
<title>{{ title ensure_right=" ," }} {{ config:app:name }}</title>
<title>{{ title ensure_right=" ," }} {{ config:app:name }}</title>
<title>{{ title ensure_right=" &" }} {{ config:app:name }}</title>
<title>{{ title ensure_right=" !" }} {{ config:app:name }}</title>

It seems like most other options work fine except |.

Environment

Statamic 3.2.1 Pro
Laravel 8.56.0
PHP 8.0.6
statamic/ssg 0.8.0

If it's a reserved word because we use | for modifiers then the docs just need to be updated.

Pretty sure it's getting confused there since | in parameter-style modifiers is used to separate lists.

Would using the HTML entity version work for your use case?

<title>{{ title ensure_right=" &vert;" }}</title>

Using | works, thanks for the tip!
