Use render hooks instead of email and img shortcodes about hyas HOT 6 CLOSED

@timtorres, thanks for this. I think there's no valid reason for using shortcodes in stead of render hooks. Will be looking into this ... soonish.

Input: bep/portable-hugo-links

from hyas.

Implemented the image render hook (really nice, thanks for triggering this), but dropped the link render hook — see also #188

from hyas.

To split things (and keep better track), I've created two discussions: Opening links in a new tab or window? + Add email obfuscation?

from hyas.

Just noting this affects the blog archetype (removing shortcode reference)

from hyas.

document.write("<a href='mailto:{{ $address }}'>" + "{{ with .emailTitle }}{{ . | safeHTML }}{{else}}{{ $address }}{{end}}" + "</a>");

This way, an email address ($address) will still be scrapable when viewing the page source.

Great, nice one 👍

Ha yeah, this was still WIP as I explored some methods. Nothing's perfect but I found a good (but old) breakdown of some different methods and your original and noscript fallback worked well enough for me as a balance between simplicity and effectiveness.

Replying to some of your notes from #188 here just to keep in context:

Dropped link render hook containing "target="_blank" rel="noopener" logic (G200: Opening new windows and tabs from a link only when necessary)

This makes sense when linking within the same or related domains, noting the exceptions provided, but isn't the general practice to open links leading to a new website in a new tab? If my users click on an external link then I'm losing them by directing them away from my site. I've rarely seen it done and I would rarely recommend it.

Dropped link render hook containing email obfuscation (looks like it's not really possible). Kept email shortcode (for now, as an option, but better to avoid using email links)

I don't understand this one - the link render hook would do the same thing as the shortcode, whether or not obfuscation is effective, without having to use the shortcode. So better and easier workflow for editors. And markdown supports email links whether or not you're using a render hook, also making the shortcode unnecessary: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or <[email protected]>
