Hi,

I was trying to use template functions in content pages, and it didn’t work. Would be super useful. Is there a way to activate this or is it not supported?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi @metachris

The answer is “no” to whether you can use template functions in content. However, you can use shortcodes:

For the content management piece (i.e. including some Hugo built-ins):

For creating your own shortcode templates:

LMK if you have any questions (or doc-related suggestions). Cheers.

As you can use template functions in shortcodes and shortcodes in content pages … I guess the answer is yes you can, in an indirect way.
