`emojify` runs a passed string through the Emoji emoticons processor.

See the [Emoji cheat sheet][emojis] for available emoticons.

The `emojify` function can be called in your templates but not directly in your content files by default. For emojis in content files, set `enableEmoji` to `true` in your site's [configuration][config]. Then you can write emoji shorthand directly into your content files; e.g. <code>I :</code><code>heart</code><code>: Hugo!</code>:

I :heart: Hugo!
