Shortcodes

Hugo uses Markdown as its content format. However, there are a lot of things that Markdown doesn’t support well. To overcome those limitations, Hugo created the concept of shortcodes.

On top of Hugo’s built-in shortcodes the Relearn theme supplies the following additional shortcodes.

  • Marker badges to display in your text
  • Show content in a set of cards
  • Expandable/collapsible sections of text
  • Nice icons for your page
  • Beautiful math and chemical formulae
  • Generate diagrams and flowcharts from text
  • Boxes to help you structure your page
  • UI for your OpenAPI / Swagger specifications
  • Show content in a single tab
  • Show content in tabbed views
