Wrong argument

A snippet call hands the snippet something it can’t take, or leaves out something it reads. The message names the snippet and the value.

A snippet takes the names it reads, other than page and site, which every snippet has. A call hands each value by name, card(post=post). A snippet that reads one name may be handed it without one, card(post). A snippet whose first line is {# takes photo, alt #} may be handed those two without names, in that order, and anything else by name.

What you’ll see

error  Wrong argument: `card` takes no `pots`
  Did you mean `post`?

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac stops

A value the snippet doesn’t read would be dropped without a word, and a value it reads and wasn’t given would come out as nothing.

How to fix it

Name each value as the snippet reads it, and give it every value it reads. When a name is close to one the snippet reads, Statac offers it. To have values given without names, add a takes line to the top of the snippet.

Example

In templates/folder.html, calling snippets/card.html, which reads post:

{{ card(pots=post) }}

Name the value as the snippet reads it:

{{ card(post=post) }}
