Hi I'm new to Jekyll and have a basic blog set up. Now my idea is to loop through a collection per blog post to get some fancy HTML going on. Because as far as I'm aware you can't simply add HTML to the markdown.
// config.yml
collections:
- hollowknight
So I've set up a collection named hollowknight
and I got a blog post about Hollow Knight.
In the Front Matter of the blog post I have collectionid: 'hollowknight'
. And in the Layout I use for blog posts I tried the following:
// post.html
{% capture collection %}site.{{ page.collectionid }}{% endcapture %}
{% for section in collection %}
{{ section.title }}
{% endfor %}
So the idea was to set the collection
variable to site.hollowknight
as configured in the config and the Front Matter. I set up a single article inside the collection, but it isn't showing up.
Is there any way to realise this? Edit: https://talk.jekyllrb.com/t/list-collection-with-name-from-front-matter/3619/6
Or is there a way to use paragraphs in the Front Matter, because then I could just use arrays and objects in the Front Matter of the posts to do my magic?

Or am I just stretching to far from what Jekyll is supposed to be?
Edit
So I found out I was getting the collection the wrong way, https://talk.jekyllrb.com/t/list-collection-with-name-from-front-matter/3619/6.
{% for section in site.[page.collectionid] %}
{{ section.content | textilize }}
{% endfor %}
The only weird part is, everywhere I see | textilize
being used but can't get it to work.
