I have created below shortcode:

<section class="related">
<h2>Related:</h2>
<ul>
    {{ range .Params }}{{ with $.Site.GetPage . }}
    <li>
        <a href="{{ .Permalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
        <p>{{ .Description | markdownify }}</p>
    </li>
    {{ end }}{{ end }}
</ul>

and calling shortcode using below code, but It is not printing any post with description.

{{< descrtiptionLink "Post1" "Post2" >}}

Thats not how you access shortcode params look at the docs you need to use positional params: https://gohugo.io/templates/shortcode-templates/#access-parameters

Or a dict: https://gohugo.io/functions/dict/#readout

Hello benmarte,

how about this - https://gohugo.io/templates/shortcode-templates/#params. this looks proper way, it looks I am missing something. Basically I am trying to modify code from this ticket to fill my requirement. I modified a bit to show Description from target link (md) file.

Hi,

Your snippet works for me. Do you have your site code somewhere we can have a look at? Have a read about Requesting Help to see what information we need from you to be able to help you better.
