Variable not rendered when using pymdown snippet extension

[siryugo]

Hi,

I'm currently using pymdown snippet extension to include an specific delimited part from one page into another using the section feature: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/snippets/#snippet-sections

Unfortunately, if the source page contains a variable, mkdocs-macro-plugin is not rendering it as expected. For example:

mkdocs.yml:

extra:
  internal-url: https://custom.url

source.md

<!-- --8<-- [start:func] -->
This is the internal url: {{ internal-url }}
<!-- --8<-- [end:func] -->

destination.md

The following text show the internal url:
--8<-- source.md:func

---

Expected result in destination page:

The following text show the internal url:
This is the internal url: https://custom.url

---

Current result in destination page:

The following text show the internal url:
This is the internal url: {{ internal-url }}

I tried using the include jinja2 function as suggested in other issues but it appears we can only "include" the full page (which makes sense). That's why I tried using pymdown snippet extension but facing this issue.

Is this something possible to solve using mkdocs-macros plugin?

Thanks!

@siryugo I would say, certainly yes. The simplest way would be to use the standard {% include ... %} command of Jinja2. That is, if you want to include the whole file.

Do you really need to include only a section of the file? If yes, and you are willing to write a Python function e.g. extract_snippet(filename, section), to be inserted in a main.py file, that shouldn't be difficult.

Here are instructions on how to write a module.

@siryugo What is the status of that issue, for you?

Hi @fralau, thanks for your help! We have finally found a workaround for our specific need for now. Anyway, I will work on your solution in the next weeks. We can close the issue.

Thanks again!
