{{< new-in 0.117.0 >}}
Use this method in shortcode templates to compose a page from multiple content files, while preserving a global context for footnotes and the table of contents.
For example:
{{< code file=layouts/shortcodes/include.html >}}
{{ $p := site.GetPage (.Get 0) }}
{{ $p.RenderShortcodes }}
{{< /code >}}
Then in your markdown:
{{< code file=content/about.md lang=md >}}
{{%/* include "/snippets/services.md" */%}}
{{%/* include "/snippets/values.md" */%}}
{{%/* include "/snippets/leadership.md" */%}}
{{< /code >}}
Each of the included markdown files can contain calls to other shortcodes.
## Shortcode notation
In the example above it's important to understand the difference between the two delimiters used when calling a shortcode:
- `{{</* myshortcode */>}}` tells Hugo that the rendered shortcode does not need further processing. For example, the shortcode content is HTML.
- `{{%/* myshortcode */%}}` tells Hugo that the rendered shortcode needs further processing. For example, the shortcode content is markdown.
Use the latter for the "include" shortcode described above.
## Further explanation
To understand what is returned by the `RenderShortcodes` method, consider this content file
{{< code file=content/about.md lang=text >}}
+++
title = 'About'
date = 2023-10-07T12:28:33-07:00
+++
{{</* ref "privacy" */>}}
An *emphasized* word.
{{< /code >}}
With this template code:
```go-html-template
{{ $p := site.GetPage "/about" }}
{{ $p.RenderShortcodes }}
```
Hugo renders this:;
```html
https://example.org/privacy/
An *emphasized* word.
```
Note that the shortcode within the content file was rendered, but the surrounding markdown was preserved.
