[Suggestion] weblog.lol: make tags links an HTML list

[bixfrankonis]

I'd like to see the links for tags that are in the post-tags element be an unordered HTML list, so the ultimate output HTML would be

		<aside class="post-tags">
			<ul>
				<li><a class="tag" href="#">Tag1</a></li><li><a class="tag" href="#">Tag2</a></li><li><a class="tag" href="">Tag3</a></li>
			</ul>
		</aside>

partly because it's technically a list, and partly because then I can throw some ::after pseudo-elements on the li elements to create commas that aren't part of the links.

I’ve just added a new configuration template. Here’s the default setup, which mirrors the current tag output:

Tags format: <<[
[tag:begin]<a class="tag" href="$tag_location">$tag</a>[tag:end]
]>>

This uses the same special template format thing that is already in place with Recent posts format, Post list format, and Search results format. You can effectively create any template you’d like for tags output, and then anything between [tag:begin] and [tag:end] will be repeated for however many tags the post has. The variables here are $tag_location (which is comprised of the tag path and tag slug) and $tag which is the actual tag text itself.

So, in your case, you can do this:

Tags format: <<[
<ul>
[tag:begin]<li><a class="tag" href="$tag_location">$tag</a></li>[tag:end]
</ul>
]>>

And that should give you the exact output you’d like!

Let me know if you run into any issues with the setup.

Funny I literally was just coming back to edit my post to suggest maybe a config template.
