Additional filters

Highlight

You should take note that the highlight is used to wrap words inside the search results with an HTML <strong> tag, along with the highlight class if it can match search.terms.

Input


{{ item.content | highlight: search.terms }}

Output


<!-- If the search term was "Yellow" -->
<strong class="highlight">Yellow</strong> shirts are the best!

Highlight_active-tag

The highlight_active_tag can wrap tag links in <span>; followed by the class active if those tags are used to get collections filtered.

Input


<!-- collection.tags = ["Cotton", "Crew Neck", "Jersey"] -->
{% for tag in collection.tags %}
    {{ tag | highlight_active | link_to_tag: tag }}
{% endfor %}
