Template-based shortcodes and reST

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

I created a template based shortcode "button", and using it as directive according to the example for "post-list":

.. button::
   :icon: paperplane
   :color: blue

   This is the text in the button

Anyhow. when using it in reST file, I get "Unknown directive type "button"".

I tried both

• themes/mytheme/shortcodes/button.tmpl
  
• themes/mytheme/templates/shortcodes/button.tmpl

without success.

What am I doing wrong?

That's a directive, shortcodes look more like this:

{{% button icon=paperplance color=blue %}}

Check the manual: https://getnikola.com/handbook.html#shortcodes

Thanks. I thought shortcodes can be used like directives, since
"post-list" is available as both shortcode and directive.
