Run the liquid filter from the Jekyll plugin

Question

The fluid has two filters with the name newline_to_brand escape.

I am working on a Jekyll plugin that should run a string through these filters. Instead of installing a separate stone that does this, or writing custom code for it, is there a way to call these filters directly from within the plugin?

Answer 1

These filters can be accessed using the string include Liquid::StandardFilters.

For example:

class PlaintextConverter
    include Liquid::StandardFilters
    def convert(content)
        content = escape(content)
        content = newline_to_br(content)
        content
    end
end
