Chapter 3

Shortcodes

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. A shortcode is a simple snippet inside a page.

The Relearn theme provides multiple shortcodes on top of existing ones.

  2. Anything of interest goes here.

    Blue light glows blue. ↩︎

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to use positional as well or also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{% expand title="Expand me..." %}}Thank you!{{% /expand %}}
{{% expand "Expand me..." %}}Thank you!{{% /expand %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/expand.html" (dict
  "page"  .
  "title" "Expand me..."
  "content" "Thank you!"
)}}

Parameter

Name Position Default Notes
title 1 "Expand me..." Arbitrary text to appear next to the expand/collapse icon.
open 2 false When true the content text will be initially shown as expanded.
<content> <empty> Arbitrary text to be displayed on expand.

Examples

  • emphasized, bold and even bold emphasized text
  • links
  • etc.
...and even source code

the possibilities are endless (almost - including other shortcodes may or may not work)

Highlight

The highlight shortcode renders your code with a syntax highlighter.

1print("Hello World!")

Usage

This shortcode is fully compatible with Hugo’s highlight shortcode but offers some extensions.

It is called interchangeably in the same way as Hugo’s own shortcode providing positional parameter or by simply using codefences.

You are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials. In this case it resembles Hugo’s highlight function syntax if you call this shortcode as a partial using compatibility syntax.

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter it is recommended to use codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports codefences (eg. GitHub) and so your markdown becomes more portable.

```py { lineNos="true" wrap="true" title="python" }
print("Hello World!")
```
{{< highlight lineNos="true" type="py" wrap="true" title="python" >}}
print("Hello World!")
{{< /highlight >}}
{{< highlight py "lineNos=true,wrap=true,title=python" >}}
print("Hello World!")
{{< /highlight >}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/highlight.html" (dict
  "page"    .
  "content" "print(\"Hello World!\")"
  "lineNos" "true"
  "type"    "py"
  "wrap"    "true"
  "title"   "python"
)}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/highlight.html" (dict
  "page"    .
  "content" "print(\"Hello World!\")"
  "options" "lineNos=true,wrap=true,title=python"
  "type"    "py"
)}}

Parameter

Name Position Default Notes
type 1 <empty> The language of the code to highlight. Choose from one of the supported languages. Case-insensitive.
title <empty> Extension. Arbitrary title for code. This displays the code like a single tab if hl_inline=false (which is Hugo’s default).
wrap see notes Extension. When true the content may wrap on long lines otherwise it will be scrollable.

The default value can be set in your hugo.toml and overwritten via frontmatter. See below.
options 2 <empty> An optional, comma-separated list of zero or more Hugo supported options as well as extension parameter from this table.
<option> <empty> Any of Hugo’s supported options.
<content> <empty> Your code to highlight.

Configuration

Default values for Hugo’s supported options can be set via goldmark settings in your hugo.toml

Default values for extension options can be set via params settings in your hugo.toml or be overwritten by frontmatter for each individual page.

Global Configuration File

You can configure the color style used for code blocks in your color variants stylesheet file.

Examples

Line Numbers with Starting Offset

As mentioned above, line numbers in a table layout will shift if code is wrapping, so better use inline. To make things easier for you, set lineNumbersInTable = false in your hugo.toml and add lineNos = true when calling the shortcode instead of the specific values table or inline.

{{< highlight lineNos="true" lineNoStart="666" type="py" >}}
# the hardest part is to start writing code; here's a kickstart; just copy and paste this; it's free; the next lines will cost you serious credits
print("Hello")
print(" ")
print("World")
print("!")
{{< /highlight >}}
666# the hardest part is to start writing code; here's a kickstart; just copy and paste this; it's free; the next lines will cost you serious credits
667print("Hello")
668print(" ")
669print("World")
670print("!")

Codefence with Title

```py { title="python" }
# a bit shorter
print("Hello World!")
```
# a bit shorter
print("Hello World!")

With Wrap

{{< highlight type="py" wrap="true" hl_lines="2" >}}
# Quicksort Python One-liner
lambda L: [] if L==[] else qsort([x for x in L[1:] if x< L[0]]) + L[0:1] + qsort([x for x in L[1:] if x>=L[0]])
# Some more stuff

# Quicksort Python One-liner
lambda L: [] if L==[] else qsort([x for x in L[1:] if x< L[0]]) + L[0:1] + qsort([x for x in L[1:] if x>=L[0]])
# Some more stuff

Without Wrap

{{< highlight type="py" wrap="false" hl_lines="2" >}}
# Quicksort Python One-liner
lambda L: [] if L==[] else qsort([x for x in L[1:] if x< L[0]]) + L[0:1] + qsort([x for x in L[1:] if x>=L[0]])

# Some more stuff

Icon

The icon shortcode displays icons using the Font Awesome library.

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with positional parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{% icon icon="exclamation-triangle" %}}
{{% icon icon="angle-double-up" %}}
{{% icon icon="skull-crossbones" %}}
{{% icon exclamation-triangle %}}
{{% icon angle-double-up %}}
{{% icon skull-crossbones %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/icon.html" (dict
    "page" .
    "icon" "exclamation-triangle"
)}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/icon.html" (dict
    "page" .
    "icon" "angle-double-up"
)}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/icon.html" (dict
    "page" .
    "icon" "skull-crossbones"
)}}

Parameter

Name Position Default Notes
icon 1 <empty> Font Awesome icon name to be displayed. It will be displayed in the text color of its according context.

Finding an icon

Browse through the available icons in the Font Awesome Gallery. Notice that the free filter is enabled, as only the free icons are available by default.

Once on the Font Awesome page for a specific icon, for example the page for the heart, copy the icon name and paste into the Markdown content.

Customising Icons

Font Awesome provides many ways to modify the icon

  • Change color (by default the icon will inherit the parent color)
  • Increase or decrease size
  • Rotate
  • Combine with other icons

Check the full documentation on web fonts with CSS for more.

Examples

Standard Usage

Built with {{% icon heart %}} by Relearn and Hugo

Built with by Relearn and Hugo

Advanced HTML Usage

While the shortcode simplifies using standard icons, the icon customization and other advanced features of the Font Awesome library require you to use HTML directly. Paste the <i> HTML into markup, and Font Awesome will load the relevant icon.

Built with <i class="fas fa-heart"></i> by Relearn and Hugo

Built with by Relearn and Hugo

To use these native HTML elements in your Markdown, add this in your hugo.toml:

[markup.goldmark.renderer]
    unsafe = true

Include

The include shortcode includes other files from your project inside of the current page.

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to use positional as well or also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{% include file="shortcodes/INCLUDE_ME.md" %}}
{{% include "shortcodes/INCLUDE_ME.md" %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/include .html" (dict
  "page" .
  "file" "shortcodes/INCLUDE_ME.md"
)}}

The included files can even contain Markdown and will be taken into account when generating the table of contents.

Parameter

Name Position Default Notes
file 1 <empty> The path to the file to be included. Path resolution adheres to Hugo’s build-in readFile function
hidefirstheading 2 false When true and the included file contains headings, the first heading will be hidden. This comes in handy, eg. if you include otherwise standalone Markdown files.

Examples

Arbitrary Content

{{% include "shortcodes/INCLUDE_ME.md" %}}

You can add standard markdown syntax:

  • multiple paragraphs
  • bullet point lists
  • emphasized, bold and even bold emphasized text
  • links
  • etc.1
...and even source code

the possibilities are endless (almost - including other shortcodes may or may not work) (almost - including other shortcodes may or may not work)


  1. Et Cetera (English: /ɛtˈsɛtərə/), abbreviated to etc., etc, et cet., is a Latin expression that is used in English to mean “and other similar things”, or “and so forth” ↩︎

Math

The math shortcode generates beautiful formatted math and chemical formulae using the MathJax library.

$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter it is recommended to use codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports Math codefences (eg. GitHub) and so your markdown becomes more portable.

You are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

Math is also usable without enclosing it in a shortcode or codefence but requires configuration by you. In this case no parameter from the below table are available.

```math { align="center" }
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$
```
{{< math align="center" >}}
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$
{{< /math >}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/math.html" (dict
  "page"    .
  "content" "$$left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$"
  "align"   "center"
)}}
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$

Parameter

Name Default Notes
align center Allowed values are left, center or right.
<content> <empty> Your formulae.

Configuration

MathJax is configured with default settings but you can customize MathJax’s default settings for all of your files through a JSON object in your hugo.toml or override these settings per page through your pages frontmatter.

The JSON object of your hugo.toml / frontmatter is forwarded into MathJax’s configuration object.

See MathJax documentation for all allowed settings.

Global Configuration File

This example reflects the default configuration also used if you don’t define mathJaxInitialize

hugo.
[params]
  mathJaxInitialize = '{ "tex": { "inlineMath": [["\(", "\)"], ["$", "$"]], displayMath: [["\[", "\]"], ["$$", "$$"]] }, "options": { "enableMenu": false }'
params:
  mathJaxInitialize: '{ "tex": { "inlineMath": [["\(", "\)"], ["$", "$"]], displayMath:
    [["\[", "\]"], ["$$", "$$"]] }, "options": { "enableMenu": false }'
{
   "params": {
      "mathJaxInitialize": "{ \"tex\": { \"inlineMath\": [[\"\\(\", \"\\)\"], [\"$\", \"$\"]], displayMath: [[\"\\[\", \"\\]\"], [\"$$\", \"$$\"]] }, \"options\": { \"enableMenu\": false }"
   }
}

Page’s Frontmatter

Usually you don’t need to redefine the global initialization settings for a single page. But if you do, you have repeat all the values from your global configuration you want to keep for a single page as well.

Eg. If you have redefined the delimiters to something exotic like @ symbols in your global config, but want to additionally align your math to the left for a specific page, you have to put this to your frontmatter:

+++
mathJaxInitialize = '{ "chtml": { "displayAlign": "left" }, { "tex": { "inlineMath": [["\(", "\)"], ["@", "@"]], displayMath: [["\[", "\]"], ["@@", "@@"]] }, "options": { "enableMenu": false }'
+++
---
mathJaxInitialize: '{ "chtml": { "displayAlign": "left" }, { "tex": { "inlineMath":
  [["\(", "\)"], ["@", "@"]], displayMath: [["\[", "\]"], ["@@", "@@"]] }, "options":
  { "enableMenu": false }'
---
{
   "mathJaxInitialize": "{ \"chtml\": { \"displayAlign\": \"left\" }, { \"tex\": { \"inlineMath\": [[\"\\(\", \"\\)\"], [\"@\", \"@\"]], displayMath: [[\"\\[\", \"\\]\"], [\"@@\", \"@@\"]] }, \"options\": { \"enableMenu\": false }"
}

Passthrough Configuration

You can use your math without enclosing it in a shortcode or codefence by using a passthrough configuration in your hugo.toml:

hugo.
[markup]
  [markup.goldmark]
    [markup.goldmark.extensions]
      [markup.goldmark.extensions.passthrough]
        enable = true

        [markup.goldmark.extensions.passthrough.delimiters]
          block = [['\[', '\]'], ['$$', '$$']]
          inline = [['\(', '\)'], ['$', '$']]
markup:
  goldmark:
    extensions:
      passthrough:
        delimiters:
          block:
          - - \[
            - \]
          - - $$
            - $$
          inline:
          - - \(
            - \)
          - - $
            - $
        enable: true
{
   "markup": {
      "goldmark": {
         "extensions": {
            "passthrough": {
               "delimiters": {
                  "block": [
                     [
                        "\\[",
                        "\\]"
                     ],
                     [
                        "$$",
                        "$$"
                     ]
                  ],
                  "inline": [
                     [
                        "\\(",
                        "\\)"
                     ],
                     [
                        "$",
                        "$"
                     ]
                  ]
               },
               "enable": true
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

In this case you have to tell the theme that your page contains math by setting this in your page’s frontmatter:

+++
disableMathJax = false
+++
---
disableMathJax: false
---
{
   "disableMathJax": false
}

See the example on how it makes using math really easy.

Examples

Inline Math

Inline math is generated if you use a single `$` as a delimiter around your formulae: {{< math >}}$\sqrt{3}${{< /math >}}

Inline math is generated if you use a single $ as a delimiter around your formulae: $\sqrt{3}$

Blocklevel Math with Right Alignment

If you delimit your formulae by two consecutive `$$` it generates a new block.

{{< math align="right" >}}
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$
{{< /math >}}

If you delimit your formulae by two consecutive $$ it generates a new block.

$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$

Codefence

You can also use codefences.

```math
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$
```
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$

Passthrough

This works for block as well as inline math but is only available if you are using the passthrough configuration.

With passthrough configuration you can just drop your math without enclosed by shortcodes or codefences but no settings from the parameter table are available.

$$\left|
\begin{array}{cc}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right|$$
$$\left| \begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right|$$

Chemical Formulae

{{< math >}}
$$\ce{Hg^2+ ->[I-] HgI2 ->[I-] [Hg^{II}I4]^2-}$$
{{< /math >}}
$$\ce{Hg^2+ ->[I-] HgI2 ->[I-] [Hg^{II}I4]^2-}$$

Mermaid

The mermaid shortcode generates diagrams and flowcharts from text, in a similar manner as Markdown using the Mermaid library.

graph LR;
    If --> Then
    Then --> Else

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter it is recommended to use codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports Mermaid codefences (eg. GitHub) and so your markdown becomes more portable.

You are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

```mermaid { align="center" zoom="true" }
graph LR;
    If --> Then
    Then --> Else
```
{{< mermaid align="center" zoom="true" >}}
graph LR;
    If --> Then
    Then --> Else
{{< /mermaid >}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/mermaid.html" (dict
  "page"    .
  "content" "graph LR;\nIf --> Then\nThen --> Else"
  "align"   "center"
  "zoom"    "true"
)}}

The generated graphs can be panned by dragging them and zoomed by using the mousewheel. On mobile devices you can use finger gestures.

Parameter

Name Default Notes
align center Allowed values are left, center or right.
zoom see notes Whether the graph is pan- and zoomable.

If not set the value is determined by the mermaidZoom setting of the site or the pages frontmatter or false if not set at all.

- false: no pan or zoom
- true: pan and zoom active
<content> <empty> Your Mermaid graph.

Configuration

Mermaid is configured with default settings. You can customize Mermaid’s default settings for all of your files through a JSON object in your hugo.toml, override these settings per page through your pages frontmatter or override these setting per diagramm through diagram directives.

The JSON object of your hugo.toml / frontmatter is forwarded into Mermaid’s mermaid.initialize() function.

See Mermaid documentation for all allowed settings.

The theme setting can also be set by your used color variant. This will be the sitewide default and can - again - be overridden by your settings in hugo.toml, frontmatter or diagram directives.

OpenAPI

The openapi shortcode uses the Swagger UI library to display your OpenAPI / Swagger specifications.

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{< openapi src="https://petstore3.openapi.io/api/v3/openapi.json" >}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/openapi.html" (dict
  "page" .
  "src"  "https://petstore3.openapi.io/api/v3/openapi.json"
)}}

Parameter

Name Default Notes
src <empty> The URL to the OpenAPI specification file. This can be relative to the URL of your page if it is a leaf or branch bundle.
Note

If you want to print out (or generate a PDF) from your OpenAPI documentation, don’t initiate printing directly from the page because the elements are optimized for interactive usage in a browser.

Instead, open the print preview in your browser and initiate printing from that page. This page is optimized for reading and expands most of the available sections.

Example

Using Local File

{{< openapi src="petstore.json" >}}

Resources

The resources shortcode displays the titles of resources contained in a page bundle.

Attachments

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{% resources sort="asc" /%}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/resources.html" (dict
  "page" .
  "sort" "asc"
)}}

Multilanguage features are not supported directly by the shortcode but rely on Hugo’s handling for resource translations applied when the theme iterates over all available resources.

Parameter

Name Default Notes
style transparent The style scheme used for the box.

- by severity: info, note, tip, warning
- by brand color: primary, secondary, accent
- by color: blue, green, grey, orange, red
- by special color: default, transparent, code
color see notes The CSS color value to be used. If not set, the chosen color depends on the style. Any given value will overwrite the default.

- for severity styles: a nice matching color for the severity
- for all other styles: the corresponding color
title see notes Arbitrary text for the box title. Depending on the style there may be a default title. Any given value will overwrite the default.

- for severity styles: the matching title for the severity
- for all other styles: Resources

If you want no title for a severity style, you have to set this parameter to " " (a non empty string filled with spaces)
icon see notes Font Awesome icon name set to the left of the title. Depending on the style there may be a default icon. Any given value will overwrite the default.

- for severity styles: a nice matching icon for the severity
- for all other styles: paperclip

If you want no icon, you have to set this parameter to " " (a non empty d with spaces)
sort asc Sorting the output in ascending or descending order.
pattern .* A regular expressions, used to filter the resources by name. For example:

- to match a file suffix of ‘jpg’, use .*\.jpg (not *.\.jpg)
- to match file names ending in jpg or png, use .*\.(jpg|png)

Examples

Custom Title, List of Resources Ending in png, jpg or gif

{{% resources title="Related **files**" pattern=".*\.(png|jpg|gif)" /%}}
Related files

Info Styled Box, Descending Sort Order

{{% resources style="info" sort="desc" /%}}
Info

With User-Defined Color and Font Awesome Brand Icon

{{% resources color="fuchsia" icon="fa-fw fab fa-hackerrank" /%}}
Attachments

Style, Color, Title and Icons

For further examples for style, color, title and icon, see the notice shortcode documentation. The parameter are working the same way for both shortcodes, besides having different defaults.

SiteParam

The siteparam shortcode prints values of site params.

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to use positional as well or call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{% siteparam name="editURL" %}}
{{% siteparam "editURL" %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/siteparam.html" (dict
  "page" .
  "name" "editURL"
)}}

Parameter

Name Position Default Notes
name 1 <empty> The name of the site param to be displayed.

Examples

editURL from hugo.toml

`editURL` value: {{% siteparam name="editURL" %}}

editURL value: https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn/edit/main/exampleSite/content/${FilePath}

Nested parameter with Markdown and HTML formatting

To use formatted parameter, add this in your hugo.toml:

hugo.
[markup]
  [markup.goldmark]
    [markup.goldmark.renderer]
      unsafe = true
markup:
  goldmark:
    renderer:
      unsafe: true
{
   "markup": {
      "goldmark": {
         "renderer": {
            "unsafe": true
         }
      }
   }
}

Now values containing Markdown will be formatted correctly.

hugo.
[params]
  [params.siteparam]
    [params.siteparam.test]
      text = 'A **nested** parameter <b>with</b> formatting'
params:
  siteparam:
    test:
      text: A **nested** parameter <b>with</b> formatting
{
   "params": {
      "siteparam": {
         "test": {
            "text": "A **nested** parameter \u003cb\u003ewith\u003c/b\u003e formatting"
         }
      }
   }
}
Formatted parameter: {{% siteparam name="siteparam.test.text" %}}

Formatted parameter: A nested option <b>with</b> formatting

Tab

You can use a tab shortcode to display a single tab.

This is especially useful if you want to flag your code example with an explicit language.

If you want multiple tabs grouped together you can wrap your tabs into the tabs shortcode.

printf("Hello World!");

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{% tab title="c" %}}
```c
printf("Hello World!");
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/tab.html" (dict
  "page"  .
  "title" "c"
  "content" ("```c\nprintf(\"Hello World!\")\n```" | .RenderString)
)}}

Parameter

Name Default Notes
style see notes The style scheme used for the tab. If you don’t set a style and you display a single code block inside of the tab, its default styling will adapt to that of a code block. Otherwise default is used.

- by severity: info, note, tip, warning
- by brand color: primary, secondary, accent
- by color: blue, green, grey, orange, red
- by special color: default, transparent, code
color see notes The CSS color value to be used. If not set, the chosen color depends on the style. Any given value will overwrite the default.

- for severity styles: a nice matching color for the severity
- for all other styles: the corresponding color
title see notes Arbitrary title for the tab. Depending on the style there may be a default title. Any given value will overwrite the default.

- for severity styles: the matching title for the severity
- for all other styles: <empty>

If you want no title for a severity style, you have to set this parameter to " " (a non empty string filled with spaces)
icon see notes Font Awesome icon name set to the left of the title. Depending on the style there may be a default icon. Any given value will overwrite the default.

- for severity styles: a nice matching icon for the severity
- for all other styles: <empty>

If you want no icon for a severity style, you have to set this parameter to " " (a non empty string filled with spaces)
<content> <empty> Arbitrary text to be displayed in the tab.

Examples

Single Code Block with Collapsed Margins

{{% tab title="Code" %}}
```python
printf("Hello World!");
```
{{% /tab %}}
printf("Hello World!");

Mixed Markdown Content

{{% tab title="_**Mixed**_" %}}
A tab can not only contain code but arbitrary text. In this case text **and** code will get a margin.
```python
printf("Hello World!");
```
{{% /tab %}}

A tab can not only contain code but arbitrary text. In this case text and code will get a margin.

printf("Hello World!");

Understanding style and color Behavior

The style parameter affects how the color parameter is applied.

{{< tabs >}}
{{% tab title="just colored style" style="blue" %}}
The `style` parameter is set to a color style.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen style color as configured in your theme variant.
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="just color" color="blue" %}}
Only the `color` parameter is set.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen CSS color value.
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="default style and color" style="default" color="blue" %}}
The `style` parameter affects how the `color` parameter is applied.

The `default` style will set the background to your `--MAIN-BG-color` as configured for your theme variant resembling the default style but with different color.
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="just severity style" style="info" %}}
The `style` parameter is set to a severity style.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen style color as configured in your theme variant and also affects the chosen icon.
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="severity style and color" style="info" color="blue" %}}
The `style` parameter affects how the `color` parameter is applied.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen CSS color value and also affects the chosen icon.
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

The style parameter is set to a color style.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen style color as configured in your theme variant.

Only the color parameter is set.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen CSS color value.

The style parameter affects how the color parameter is applied.

The default style will set the background to your --MAIN-BG-color as configured for your theme variant resembling the default style but with different color.

The style parameter is set to a severity style.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen style color as configured in your theme variant and also affects the chosen icon.

The style parameter affects how the color parameter is applied.

This will set the background to a lighter version of the chosen CSS color value and also affects the chosen icon.

Tabs

The tabs shortcode displays arbitrary content in an unlimited number of tabs.

This comes in handy eg. for providing code snippets for multiple languages.

If you just want a single tab you can instead call the tab shortcode standalone.

hello.
print("Hello World!")
echo "Hello World!"
printf("Hello World!");

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

See the tab shortcode for a description of the parameter for nested tabs.

{{< tabs title="hello." >}}
{{% tab title="py" %}}
```python
print("Hello World!")
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="sh" %}}
```bash
echo "Hello World!"
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="c" %}}
```c
printf"Hello World!");
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/tabs.html" (dict
  "page"  .
  "title" "hello."
  "content" (slice
    (dict
      "title" "py"
      "content" ("```python\nprint(\"Hello World!\")\n```" | .RenderString)
    )
    (dict
      "title" "sh"
      "content" ("```bash\necho \"Hello World!\"\n```" | .RenderString)
    )
    (dict
      "title" "c"
      "content" ("```c\nprintf(\"Hello World!\");\n```" | .RenderString)
    )
  )
)}}

Parameter

Name Default Notes
groupid <random> Arbitrary name of the group the tab view belongs to.

Tab views with the same groupid sychronize their selected tab. The tab selection is restored automatically based on the groupid for tab view. If the selected tab can not be found in a tab group the first tab is selected instead.

This sychronization applies to the whole site!
style <empty> Sets a default value for every contained tab. Can be overridden by each tab. See the tab shortcode for possible values.
color <empty> Sets a default value for every contained tab. Can be overridden by each tab. See the tab shortcode for possible values.
title <empty> Arbitrary title written in front of the tab view.
icon <empty> Font Awesome icon name set to the left of the title.
<content> <empty> Arbitrary number of tabs defined with the tab sub-shortcode.

Examples

Behavior of the groupid

See what happens to the tab views while you select different tabs.

While pressing a tab of Group A switches all tab views of Group A in sync (if the tab is available), the tabs of Group B are left untouched.

{{< tabs groupid="a" >}}
{{% tab title="json" %}}
{{< highlight json "linenos=true" >}}
{ "Hello": "World" }
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="_**XML**_ stuff" %}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="text" %}}
    Hello World
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}
{{< tabs groupid="a" >}}
{{% tab title="json" %}}
{{< highlight json "linenos=true" >}}
{ "Hello": "World" }
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="XML stuff" %}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}
{{< tabs groupid="b" >}}
{{% tab title="json" %}}
{{< highlight json "linenos=true" >}}
{ "Hello": "World" }
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="XML stuff" %}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

Group A, Tab View 1

1{ "Hello": "World" }
<Hello>World</Hello>
Hello World

Group A, Tab View 2

1{ "Hello": "World" }
<Hello>World</Hello>

Group B

1{ "Hello": "World" }
<Hello>World</Hello>

Nested Tab Views and Color

In case you want to nest tab views, the parent tab that contains nested tab views needs to be declared with {{< tab >}} instead of {{% tab %}}. Note, that in this case it is not possible to put markdown in the parent tab.

You can also set style and color parameter for all tabs and overwrite them on tab level. See the tab shortcode for possible values.

{{< tabs groupid="main" style="primary" title="Rationale" icon="thumbtack" >}}
{{< tab title="Text" >}}
  Simple text is possible here...
  {{< tabs groupid="tabs-example-language" >}}
  {{% tab title="python" %}}
  Python is **super** easy.

  - most of the time.
  - if you don't want to output unicode
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{% tab title="bash" %}}
  Bash is for **hackers**.
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{< /tabs >}}
{{< /tab >}}

{{< tab title="Code" style="default" color="darkorchid" >}}
  ...but no markdown
  {{< tabs groupid="tabs-example-language" >}}
  {{% tab title="python" %}}
  ```python
  print("Hello World!")
  ```
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{% tab title="bash" %}}
  ```bash
  echo "Hello World!"
  ```
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{< /tabs >}}
{{< /tab >}}
{{< /tabs >}}
Rationale

Simple text is possible here...

Python is super easy.

  • most of the time.
  • if you don’t want to output unicode

Bash is for hackers.

...but no markdown

print("Hello World!")
echo "Hello World!"
