Feature/demo updates

[juancarlosasensio]

The goal is to allow for updates to be rendered for any piece of content, starting with any markdown file that's part of a collection like posts or demos

There are a number of ways to go about this. One route that we've been testing with involves using filters to find content updates from the default 11ty collections that match the title of a given piece of content.

Another idea is to create a json file that we can consume on build. We would then use something like eleventyComputed or another way to call a JavaScript function or access a JavaScript data file to get the content update that match a particular piece of content.

Super helpful links on how to get only the content from a file and how to work with data

• Access to raw file content (before any processing) 11ty/eleventy#1206 (comment)
• https://benmyers.dev/blog/eleventy-data-cascade/

Some TODO ideas:

• Figure out how to render the Markdown content of a Markdown file (i.e.: not the front matter of a file but the actual "words" in the content)
  • One idea is to use the renderFile or renderTemplate shortcodes.
  • Similarly, creating a custom shortcode might be the way to go. This example renders HTML content in Markdown. We, basically, want to figure out how to render Markdown within Markdown: https://www.webstoemp.com/blog/modular-code-nunjucks-eleventy/
  • What about adding an excerpt to content and access it via page.excerpt? https://www.11ty.dev/docs/data-frontmatter-customize/#example-parse-excerpts-from-content

Figuring this out gave me a lot of trouble while working on this feature.
