The `attachments` shortcode displays a list of files attached to a page with adjustable color, title and icon.

{{% attachments /%}}

## Usage

````go
{{%/* attachments /*/%}}
````

The shortcurt lists files found in a specific folder.

Currently, it supports two implementations for pages

1. If your page is a Markdown file, attachements must be placed in a folder named like your page and ending with `.files`.

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * **page.files**
    >      * attachment.pdf
    >   * page.md

2. If your page is a folder, attachements must be placed in a nested `files` folder.

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * page
    >      * index.md
    >      * **files**
    >          * attachment.pdf

Be aware that if you use a multilingual website, you will need to have as many folders as languages.
