## What is a shortcode? A shortcode is a simple snippet inside a markdown file that Hugo will render
A shortcode is a simple snippet inside a markdown file that Hugo will render using a predefined template. using a predefined template.
An example of a shortcode would be `{{% video http://urlToVideo %}}` ## Using a shortcode
Shortcodes are created by placing a template file in `layouts/shortcodes/`. The
name of the file becomes the name of the shortcode (without the extension).
In your content files a shortcode can be called by using '{{% name parameters In your content files a shortcode can be called by using '{{% name parameters
%}}' respectively. Shortcodes are space delimited (parameters with spaces %}}' respectively. Shortcodes are space delimited (parameters with spaces
can be quoted). can be quoted).
The first word is always the name of the shortcode. Following The first word is always the name of the shortcode. Parameters follow the name.
the name are the parameters. The format for named parameters models that of html with the format
name="value". The current implementation only supports this exact format. Extra
spaces or different quote marks will not parse properly.
The author of the shortcode can choose if the short code will use positional Some shortcodes use or require closing shortcodes. Like HTML, the opening and closing
parameters or named parameters (but not both). A good rule of thumb is that if shortcodes match (name only), the closing being prepended with a slash.
a short code has a single required value in the case of the youtube example
below then positional works very well. For more complex layouts with optional Example of a paired shortcode:
{{% highlight go %}} A bunch of code here {{% /highlight %}}
## Hugo Shortcodes
Hugo ships with a set of predefined shortcodes.
### highlight
This shortcode will convert the source code provided into syntax highlighted
html. Read more on [highlighting](/extras/highlighting).
#### Usage
Highlight takes exactly one required parameter of language and requires a
closing shortcode.
#### Example
{{% highlight html %}}
{{% highlight html %}}
<section id="main">
<div>
<h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
{{ range .Data.Pages }}
{{ .Render "summary"}}
{{ end }}
</div>
</section>
{{&#37; /highlight %}}
{{% /highlight %}}
#### Example Output
{{% highlight html %}}
<span style="color: #f92672">&lt;section</span> <span style="color: #a6e22e">id=</span><span style="color: #e6db74">&quot;main&quot;</span><span style="color: #f92672">&gt;</span>
<span style="color: #f92672">&lt;div&gt;</span>
<span style="color: #f92672">&lt;h1</span> <span style="color: #a6e22e">id=</span><span style="color: #e6db74">&quot;title&quot;</span><span style="color: #f92672">&gt;</span>{{ .Title }}<span style="color: #f92672">&lt;/h1&gt;</span>
{{ range .Data.Pages }}
{{ .Render &quot;summary&quot;}}
{{ end }}
<span style="color: #f92672">&lt;/div&gt;</span>
<span style="color: #f92672">&lt;/section&gt;</span>
{{% /highlight %}}

* src

#### Example
{{% highlight html %}}
{{&#37; figure src="/media/spf13.jpg" title="Steve Francia" %}}

{{% /highlight %}}
## Creating your own shortcodes
To create a shortcode, place a template in the layouts/shortcodes directory. The
template name will be the name of the shortcode.
In creating a shortcode you can choose if the short code will use positional
parameters or named parameters (but not both). A good rule of thumb is that if a
short code has a single required value in the case of the youtube example below
then positional works very well. For more complex layouts with optional
parameters named parameters work best. parameters named parameters work best.
The format for named parameters models that of html with the format name="value"
Lastly like HTML, shortcodes can be singular or paired. An example of a paired
shortcode would be:
{{% code_highlight %}} A bunch of code here {{% /code_highlight %}}
Shortcodes are paired with an opening shortcode identical to a single shortcode
and a closing shortcode.
## Creating a shortcode
All that you need to do to create a shortcode is place a template in the layouts/shortcodes directory.
The template name will be the name of the shortcode.
