Shortcodes
Shortcodes let you easily reuse a piece of UI or styling consistently. Examples might include a callout or a video embed. Doks supports the use of shortcodes in Markdown files and provides some common shortcodes for you to use.
Learn more about Shortcodes in the Hugo Docs.
Callouts
Callouts (also known as “admonitions” or “asides”) are useful for displaying secondary information alongside a page’s main content.
Callout blocks are indicated using {{< callout >}}{{< /callout >}} to wrap your content, and can be of type note, tip, caution or danger.
{{< callout note >}} This is a note callout. Example text to show it in action. {{< /callout >}}You can nest any other Markdown content types inside a callout, but callouts are best suited to short and concise chunks of content.

{{< /callout >}}More callout types
Caution and danger callouts are helpful for drawing a user’s attention to details that may trip them up. If you find yourself using these a lot, it may also be a sign that the thing you are documenting could benefit from being redesigned.

You can insert a details HTML element using the {{< details >}} shortcode.

You can add the open attribute to start details in open state.
{{< details "Start in open state" open >}}
This Boolean attribute indicates whether the details — that is, the contents of the <details> element — are currently visible. The details are shown when this attribute exists, or hidden when this attribute is absent. By default this attribute is absent which means the details are not visible.

```
{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab "pnpm" >}}
