Shortcodes

bootstrap-blockquote

Uses Bootstrap blockquotes to format your blockquotes nicely. Pass the quote inside the shortcode. The author argument is optional.

Here's an actual usage, and here's an example usage:

{{< bootstrap-blockquote author="Carl Jung" >}}
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
{{< /bootstrap-blockquote >}}

bootstrap-table

Uses Bootstrap tables to format your tables nicely. Pass the markdown table inside the shortcode, then pass the classes as an argument.

Here's an actual usage, and here's an example usage:

{{< bootstrap-table "table table-dark table-striped table-bordered" >}}
| Animal  | Sounds |
|---------|--------|
| Cat     | Meow   |
| Dog     | Woof   |
| Cricket | Chirp  |
{{< /bootstrap-table >}}

bootstrap-card

Uses Bootstrap cards and Hugo image processing to display your page bundle images nicely. Only the img, command, and options arguments are required.

Here's an actual usage, and here's an example usage:

{{< bootstrap-card
img="sun.jpg"
command="Resize"
options="700x"
title="The Sun"
