Thanks, switching to that at least causes an error message. With hugo I have a really hard time figuring out what values I am getting out of things. Your code (copied verbatim) causes this error:

`Started building site ERROR: 2016/07/20 15:20:35 shortcode.go:565: error processing shortcode shortcodes/practice_areas.html ERR: template: shortcodes/practice_areas.html:6:11: executing "shortcodes/practice_areas.html" at <index .Page.Site.Tax...>: error calling index: index of untyped nil`

The reason for the shortcode is we need to put these content cards within some page content, but not all. Hugo doesn’t seem to have a way to make a specific page that uses its own entirely custom template as a one-off.
