So in my theme i’ve made a :  
/layouts/shortcodes/myshortcode.html

and in my md file (content/posts/PtS/as.md) i’ve put :

> {{% myshortcode %}}Hello World!{{% /myshortcode %}}

but when it render it show me :

> {{% myshortcode %}}Hello **World!** {{% /myshortcode %}}

the shortcode seems not working but not error in the hugo server mode.

Edit : Found the solution. It was refreshing and deleting public folder.

Thanks
