Here are some helpful tips for setting up this theme.
## Syntax Highlighting
Introduction allows the use of Hugo's rich built-in syntax highlighting capabilities. See [Syntax Highlighting](https://gohugo.io/content-management/syntax-highlighting/) in the Hugo docs.
Below is an example configuration for Highlight. See [Highlight in the Hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration-markup#highlight) for more.
```toml
[markup]
[markup.highlight]
codeFences = true
guessSyntax = false
hl_Lines = ""
lineNoStart = 1
lineNos = false
lineNumbersInTable = true
noClasses = true
# For styles, see https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/longer/all.html
style = "friendly"
tabWidth = 4
```
## Shortcodes
[Custom shortcodes](https://gohugo.io/templates/shortcode-templates/) can be added to a `layouts/shortcodes/` directory in your site root. Below, I use two custom shortcodes to display a data file: the current configuration file for this site! See the [source for this page](https://github.com/victoriadrake/hugo-theme-introduction/blob/master/exampleSite/content/en/blog/configuration.md) to understand how to use shortcodes.
## Show HTML in Posts
To ensure Hugo renders any HTML that your shortcode or other additions like Font Awesome uses in posts, make sure these lines for [the Goldmark renderer](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration-markup) are in your `config.toml`:
```toml
[markup]
defaultMarkdownHandler = "goldmark"
[markup.goldmark]
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true
```
## Configuration
Introduction can be easily configured using [Hugo's configuration file](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/). You can copy the `config.toml` in the `exampleSite/` to your site root get started.
Here are all the options included in the configuration file for this example site!
