This is super helpful, thanks for getting me started!

@tlienart Is there a straightforward way to isolate and test resolve_code_block()?

I tried

julia> replcode = """
       ```julia
       foo = 2+2
       bar = foo + 3
       ```"""
"```julia\nfoo = 2+2\nbar = foo + 3\n```"

julia> Franklin.resolve_code_block(SubString(replcode), repl=true)
"<pre><code class=\"language-julia\">foo &#61; 2&#43;2\nbar &#61; foo &#43; 3</code></pre>"

but this hits isnothing(rpath) && return html_code(code, lang) and returns. Putting a block into an existing site and using serve() to throw the error is a bit challenging.

[tlienart]

Set shortcut=true, repl would never be true without shortcut being as well

[kescobo]

shortcut = true throws TypeError from lang = locvar(:lang)::String...

[tlienart]

use Franklin.set_var!(Franklin.LOCAL_VARS, "lang", "julia") before so that locvar(:lang) returns 'Julia'. Either that or discard this and rewrite your own function which will likely be faster for now.,

hello @kescobo do you need any help with this?

[kescobo]

@tlienart I haven't had much opportunity to work on it in the past couple of weeks, sorry 😐. I got stuck trying to test a function, but haven't had time to try your latest suggestion - hoping to return to it next week, but if it's a quick fix on your end, I won't be bothered of you take it over.

[tlienart]

no worries, I'm keen for external users to try stuff for feature requests like this one and was just offering to unblock you if you had time to push this, there's no rush in any case :)

[kescobo]

Sorry this has languished so long. I am still planning to work on this - but I don't want to be a cookie licker... If you or someone else wants this, totally fine with me to take it.

[tlienart]

No worries @kescobo, you're the only person who's asked for this and while I support the idea and will help you push it through, I don't think someone else will :-)

[tlienart]

Just a note and a ref that Shashi Gowda had a go at it: JuliaSymbolics/Symbolics.jl#527 and it's looking great!

Reopening to keep track of this for now

[gdalle]

Bumping to say that I strongly support this idea, it's very useful for introductory Julia blog posts like the one I'm writing

[tlienart]

finally had a stab at this, see #1035 ; kindly try it there, if it seems to work well for you I'll merge it and add it as a patch release (even though it's kind of a new feature but I had told myself I wouldn't do a minor release until the upcoming big one so this would be a bit of an exception)
