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.
The badge shortcode displays little markers in your text with adjustable color, title and icon.

Button
The button shortcode displays a clickable button with adjustable color, title and icon.
Once the button is clicked, it opens another browser tab for the given URL.
Parameter
Name
Default
Notes
href
<empty>
Either the destination URL for the button or JavaScript code to be executed on click. If this parameter is not set, the button will do nothing but is still displayed as clickable.
- if starting with javascript: all following text will be executed in your browser - every other string will be interpreted as URL
style
transparent
The style scheme used for the button.
- by severity: caution, important, info, note, tip, warning - by brand color: primary, secondary, accent - by color: blue, cyan, green, grey, magenta, 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
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)
iconposition
left
Places the icon to the left or right of the title.
target
see notes
The destination frame/window if href is an URL. Otherwise the parameter is not used. This behaves similar to normal links. If the parameter is not given it defaults to:
- the setting of externalLinkTarget or _blank if not set, for any address starting with http:// or https:// - no specific value for all other links
type
see notes
The button type if href is JavaScript. Otherwise the parameter is not used. If the parameter is not given it defaults to button
<content>
see notes
Arbitrary text for the button 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: <empty>
If you want no title for a severity style, you have to set this parameter to " " (a non empty string filled with spaces)
Choose the style used to group all children. It could be any HTML tag name.
style
li
Choose the style used to display each descendant. It could be any HTML tag name.
showhidden
false
When true, child pages hidden from the menu will be displayed as well.
description
false
When true shows a short text under each page in the list. When no description or summary exists for the page, the first 70 words of the content is taken - read more info about summaries on gohugo.io.
depth
1
The depth of descendants to display. For example, if the value is 2, the shortcode will display two levels of child pages. To get all descendants, set this value to a high number eg. 999.
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.

...and even source code
```>thepossibilitiesareendless(almost-includingothershortcodesmayormaynotwork){{%/expand%}}
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 Markdown 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 Markdown codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports Markdown codefences (eg. GitHub) and so your Markdown becomes more portable.
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.
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 credits667print("Hello")668print(" ")669print("World")670print("!")
Markdown Codefence with Title
```py { title="python" }
# a bit shorter
print("Hello World!")
```
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)
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 <iclass="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 pages, resources or files from your project.
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.
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.
the possibilities are endless (almost - including other shortcodes may or may not work) (almost - including other shortcodes may or may not work)
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.
While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter it is recommended to use Markdown codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports Markdown 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 Markdown codefence but requires configuration by you. In this case no parameter from the below table are available.
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.
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:
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 `$$` it generates a new block.
{{<mathalign="right">}}
$$\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.
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 Markdown 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 \\

\end{array}\right|$$
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 Markdown codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports Mermaid Markdown 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" }

```
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.
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.

The path to the to the OpenAPI specification resource or URL to be used. Resource paths adhere to Hugo’s logical path.
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
{{<openapisrc="petstore.json">}}
Resources
The resources shortcode displays the titles of resources contained in a page bundle.
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.

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.
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.
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.
