Hugo uses Markdown for its simple content format. However, there are a lot of things that Markdown doesn’t support well. You could use pure HTML to expand possibilities.

But this happens to be a bad idea. Everyone uses Markdown because it's pure and simple to read even non-rendered. You should avoid HTML to keep it as simple as possible.

To avoid this limitations, Hugo created [shortcodes](https://gohugo.io/extras/shortcodes/). A shortcode is a simple snippet inside a page.

**Hugo-theme-learn** provides multiple shortcodes on top of existing ones.

## Notice

The notice shortcode shows 4 types of disclaimers to help you structure your page.

### Note

```
{{%/* notice note */%}}

{{%/* /notice */%}}
```

### Info
