A word on function naming

[regisphilibert]

It would be great if Hugo could already supports template function definitions (TDF) so we don't have to rely on the partial api to call functions.

In this document we'll assume we can use TDF which supports multiple arguments (contrary to partials)

Example with tnd-styles/tags

Potential syntax for a function printing style tags which would serve the same purpose as TND Styles's tags

with TDF

The following is my number one preference but will not be possible with simple tdf because of their obvious name limitations:

The function name and parameter names must consist only of letters, digits, and underscores, with a leading non-digit.

{{ huge.styles.tags param1 param2 }}

Too bad we'll have to settle with the following:

{{ huge_styles_tags param1 param2 }}

I would be ready to forgo of the fear of ambiguity and just simplify our function names: "styles"

{{ styles param1 param1 }}

But if Hugo core drops a new function called styles in the near future we would be in big trouble...

without TDF

{{ partial "huge/styles/tags" (dict "param1" "param1_value" "param2" "param2_value") }}
