Jekyll - pass jekyll variable to user shortcut

Question

I am trying to decide how to pass a Jekyll variable into a liquid tag plugin. I tried to do this:

{% liquidtag {{ variable }} %} 

But the variable is not implemented, and the tag simply gets the variable name with curly braces: {{ variable }}

It is also not implemented when I use: {% liquidtag {% variable %} %} - the {% before the variable is included in the string and %} after the variable is matched with the first {% liquid tag - last close %} ignored. Ie this passes: {% variable

I want the actual value of the variable to be passed to the tag.

Here is the tag:

 class CatAbs < Liquid::Tag def initialize(tag_name, text, tokens) super @text = text puts @text end def render(context) return @text.split("-").at(1) end end 

And here is how I now refer to the tag:

 {% for tag in site.categories %} <div class="grid grid-pad"> <a><h2>{% CatAbs {{ tag[0] }} %} »</h2></a> ...
