Is it possible to create new "controls" in Hugo?

1

Let’s say that I very commonly run into the issue of wanting to show a picture, with a label with a different font and a description with yet another font. I repeat this very same pattern all over my website. Is there a way I could define something with a syntax of my own such that I could always refer it the same way?

Something such as myPic(“pic-url”, “label”, “description”)?

Thanks

Shortcodes are the Hugo. way to do this, and in some cases, you can also define Render Hooks which “extend” markdown. both would allow you to do the above.

What is the context here? Markdown? If so yes, Render Hooks or Shortcode is your best options.

If it’s your templates, then partials but I guess you know that.
