{{< tabs groupId="shortcode-parameter">}}
{{% tab name="shortcode" %}}

````go
{{%/* button href="https://gohugo.io/" %}}Get Hugo{{% /button */%}}
{{%/* button href="https://gohugo.io/" style="warning" icon="dragon" %}}Get Hugo{{% /button */%}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="partial" %}}

````go
{{ partial "shortcodes/button.html" (dict
    "context" .
    "href" "https://gohugo.io/"
    "content" "Get Hugo"
)}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/button.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "href" "https://gohugo.io/"
  "style" "warning"
  "icon" "dragon"
  "content" "Get Hugo"
)}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

Once the button is clicked, it opens another browser tab for the given URL.
