Hi, So, I have a shortcode that is called multiple times per page/ post. Inside the shortcode is a script that only needs to be rendered in HTML on the first instance of the shortcode. Does Hugo have a function for that? “Run the following HTML only once”? Best Regards, Jonathan Clarke

Solved this by moving code to single.html rather than the shortcode file. I had some help from @julianoaklein !

DRYer shortcodes

Right from the doc:

You can check if a specific shortcode is used on a page by calling .HasShortcode in that page template

I’m teasing, happens to me all the time
