11ty outputs HTML entities

[tjperry07]

I am looping through my collections to output a JSON file.

11ty is giving me HTML entities in the output, even though the file is written in markdown. I can't figure out why or how to strip them from the output.

Loop parsing over markdown files.

[
{%- for item in collections.all -%}
  {% if not item.data.ignore %}
      {
        "title" : "{{item.data.title }}",
        "Page_Type": [
          {% for ptype in item.data.Page_Type %}
          
            "{{ptype}}"
            {% if not loop.last %},{% else %}{%- endif -%}
          {%- endfor -%} 
          ],
        "url" : "{{metadata.url}}{{item.url}}",
        "description": "{{item.data.description}}",
        "only_show_these_results": [
          {% for keyw in item.data.algKeywords %}
            "{{keyw}}"
            {% if not loop.last %},{% else %}{%- endif -%}
          {%- endfor -%} 
          ],
        "text" : "{{item.templateContent | safe | algExcerpt }}"
      }
  {% if not loop.last %},{% else %}{%- endif -%}{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}
]

Results

Transition to v2.1 Transitioning to v2.0 from 1.0 doesn't involve making any changes to your application, unless you are already using the /contacts endpoints. For v2.0, we extended the contact model to store different and additional fields.

Filter

/* Filter for search */
eleventyConfig.addFilter('algExcerpt', function (text) {

  //first remove code
  text = text.replace(/<code class="language-.*?">.*?<\/code>/sg, '');

  //now remove html tags
  text = text.replace(/<.*?>/g, '');

  //Remove backslashes
  text = text.replace(/\\/g, '');

  //Remove tabs
  text = text.replace(/\t/g, '');

  //Remove big spaces and punctuation
  text = text.replace(/\n/g, ' ');

  //remove repeated spaces
  text = text.replace(/[ ]{2,}/g, '  ');

  //now limit to 8k
  return text.substring(0,8000);
});

Try reversing the order of your safe and algExcerpt filters:

"text" : "{{ item.templateContent | algExcerpt | safe }}"
