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

{{% attachments sort="asc" /%}}

## Usage

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

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

````go
{{%/* attachments sort="asc" /*/%}}
````

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

````go
{{ partial "shortcodes/attachments.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "sort" "asc"
)}}
````

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

The shortcode lists files found in a specific folder.

Currently, it supports two implementations for pages

1. If your page is a Markdown file, attachments 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, attachments 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.
