Nunjucks filters in Highlight template throws Template render error

Thank you for creating this plugin, much appreciated.

I’m trying to use Nunjucks filter ‘replace’ in the Highlight template,

{{ text | replace('4', '.') }}

{% if note %}{{note}}{% endif %}

---

But it results in template render error,

Error parsing
.../My clippings.txt.

Template render error:(unknown path)
TypeError: Cannot read property 'lineno' of undefined

My actual goal is to use regex with the replace filter, But since it didn’t work I tried a basic replace as sighted above.

So that we can confirm if the original issue that you had raised was resolved by the last release, you can bypass the validation that the plugin uses and modify the plugin’s data.json file directly. Simply set highlightTemplate to the nunjucks template that you want and it should be picked up by the plugin.

I’ll look into fixing the false negative issue of validation after I am done with another task.

Thanks for raising this @abishekmuthian. I understand this issue and it is a valid bug.

To support resync, the plugin adds a “block reference” (e.g. ^ref-1233) at the end of a highlight (rendered using {{ text }} tags in nunjucks). The plugin has not catered for the fact that you could be using a nunjucks modifier such as replace to manipulate the content.

Will fix shortly.
