Native Shortcodes

Hugo has several built-in shortcodes.

Lets go over them here:

Gist
Takes the user and gist ID as parameters and renders a GitHub gist. You can also pass a filename if the gist has multiple files.
Ref
Takes a file path in the Hugo website and provides an absolute link to that file. If the url or slug is overridden in the front matter of a page, the ref shortcode follows the newly provided location.

[Neat]({{}})

results in:

<a href="https://example.com/blog/neat"> Neat <//a>
Relref
Provides the relative link to the file in the Hugo website.

This shortcode works similar to ref.

[Who]({{}})

results in:

<a href="https://example.com/about#who">who</a>
