error

Error: error building site: render: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: "/home/jmooring/code/hugo-testing/layouts/_default/home.html:11:5": execute of template failed: template: _default/home.html:11:5: executing "main" at <.Content>: error calling Content: unknown shortcode token "HAHAHUGOSHORTCODE<span style="color:#ae81ff">1<span style="color:#960050;background-color:#1e0010">s<span style="color:#ae81ff">0<span style="color:#960050;background-color:#1e0010">HBHB" (number of tokens: 1)

The problem seems to be limited to the JSON hiighlighting language. I tested about 20 other languages, including some likely suspects, but was unable to reproduce the problem.

This isn’t a problem if you call the shortcode using the {{% %}} notation. The shortcode template itself is irrelevant.

It looks like we started throwing this error in v0.111.0 and later, but as far as I can tell this combination has never worked.

Low priority.
