HI all,

Just want to write some notes on how to use shortcodes, and in what format will the shortcodes just display general content text “{{% shortcodes % }}” in markdown , not being parsed as shortcodes ?

thanks

Try

{{%/* shortcode */%}}

I feel like the back-tick ` should do the trick. At least here it does?

{{% shortcode %}} - shows the shortcode. (In my markdown I have a tick in the beginning and the end.

If you want to go 100% sure why not create a shortcode that outputs a shortcode? like {{< shortcode name="shortcodename" enclosings="brackets" >}} that results in {{< shortcodename >}} being rendered. might be overkill but you could add extra styling, blinking and such :slight_smile:

That works fine in a non-Hugo context. But the comments are necessary when inside a Hugo content file.

Thank you, it works.
