Especify block and template from gulpfile about gulp-swig

[colynb]

Hi... There's a Swig plugin that creates a block for markdown content. As far as your relative path issue, the latest version of swig has a new template loader function that lets you override the default template lookup behavior. I haven't used it much so I can't really explain how it works, but once you figure it out it can be rolled into the setup option. Anyway, below is an example of how to include the swig-marked plugin into gulp.

var swig = require('gulp-swig');
var marked = require('swig-marked');
var opts = {
  setup: function(swig) {
    marked.useTag(swig, 'markdown');
  }
};
gulp.task('templates', function() {
  gulp.src('./lib/*.html') // containing markdown tag: {% markdown %}**hello**{% endmarkdown %}
    .pipe(swig(opts))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))
});

Just in case someone finds this like I did when I went searching for how to change the template path. Here is the answer:

1. Update the gulp-swig swig dev dependency to at least 1.3.2 get the template loader option
2. Add this code to your gulpfile

    .pipe(swig({
        setup: function (swig) {
          swig.setDefaults({
            loader: swig.loaders.fs('path/to/your/template/files')          
          });
        }
      }))
