Topic: sub-menu detected when it's not

I want to include a link to US Core in my menu so I'm doing this:

menu:
  Table of Contents: toc.html
  PAS Specification:
    PAS Home Page: index.html
    Use Cases and Overview: usecases.html
    Technical Background: background.html
    HIPAA Regulations: regulations.html
    Formal Specification: specification.html
    Downloads: downloads.html
    Credits: credits.html
  FHIR Artifacts:
    Artifacts Overview: fhirArtifacts.html
    PAS-specific Artifacts: artifacts.html
    US Core: {{site.data.fhir.ver.hl7_fhir_us_core}}
  Base Specs:
    "FHIR R4 Spec ": new-tab external {{site.data.fhir.path}}index.html
  History: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pas/history.html

I'm getting an error on the US Core line: "The US Core menu item specifies a sub-menu. The IG template currently only supports two levels of menus. The sub-menu for US Core is included in the menu.xml file but it will not be rendered in the IG."

But this isn't a sub-menu, it's just a liquid link to the US Core. I tried adding index.html at the end like in the FHIR R4 Spec, but that gave me a YAML error. Do I need to escape this line better?

I expect that the YAML parser is interpreting the surrounding { } as a Javascript object -- which makes SUSHI think it is a sub-menu. Can you try this:

Chris Moesel (Aug 24 2020 at 20:41):

US Core: "{{site.data.fhir.ver.hl7_fhir_us_core}}"

Jean Duteau (Aug 24 2020 at 20:42):

Yep, that appears to have worked.

Jean Duteau (Aug 24 2020 at 20:57):

spoke too soon - it doesn't raise the SUSHI warning, but it results in a menu.xml that has ...href=""{{blah blah}}"", i.e. the " characters are kept

Jean Duteau (Aug 24 2020 at 20:59):

i got around this by putting external in front of the liquid variable: US Core: external {{blah}}

Chris Moesel (Aug 24 2020 at 22:21):

hrm... there must be another way... I've also noticed lately that some of the templates now auto-detect external links and apply the external icon automatically -- so when you use external in the menu, you might see the external icon double-applied. :-/

Jean Duteau (Aug 24 2020 at 23:01):

yeah, I saw that, so I removed external and just put new-tab, which I suspect might also be auto-detected.

Eric Haas (Aug 25 2020 at 01:00):

for YAML use this:

    US Core: >-
       {{site.data.fhir.ver.hl7_fhir_us_core}}

will preserve the {{}} (at least with my parser it does.)

but the bigger question is why do you want your menu leading away from your guide. I hate that.?
