Multi line front matter in default_post_extras about sublime-jekyll HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey @Sukhdeepsingh - thanks!

You should be able to get the desired format using another dictionary as a key value for your image section like this:

"default_post_extras": {
    "excerpt": "", "comments": "True", "image": {
        "feature": "", "credit": "", "creditlink":"", "link":""
    }
}

When you create your post, it should translate to this:

from sublime-jekyll.

Thanks, that worked great. Just on this point, why the order is not maintained. For eg. look at the excerpt tag, we added it as the top key, but it became second last in the post file. How can I maintain the order.

Curious - why does your YAML front matter key order matter? Aesthetics?

Python sets (dictionaries) are unordered by definition, so there is never a guarantee that the order you insert the values are the order they come out (more here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15479974).

The implementation I am using is a simple dictionary walk - you can have a look here if you have suggestions on improvements: https://github.com/23maverick23/sublime-jekyll/blob/master/jekyll.py#L212-L242 . I could maybe look at using OrderedDict in conjunction, but I haven't seen a need for that.

Thanks for your time Ryan, no pressing issues just the aesthetics as you said :)

Np. I'll put it on the backlog and see if I can get to it on my next major release. Thanks for the feedback!
