Question

I have checked the tutorial on how to write a mercurial extension and I wonder how do I do to specifically add a filter for log keywords?

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

I think an example will explain it best:

from mercurial import templatefilters

def upper(s):
    return s.upper()

def extsetup(ui):
    templatefilters.filters["upper"] = upper

# Then run:
#
#   hg tip --config extensions.upper=~/tmp/upper.py --template "{author|upper}\n"
#
# to test
