showFile.html Shortcode

Published: Updated:

A “meta” shortcode which I use to show the contents of a specific file I use on this site and applies syntax highlighting to it. For some reason I can’t use syntax highlighting via code fences in markdown so you’ll need to use the highlight shortcode.

Arguments

{{< showFile path="" lang="" >}}
  • path is the file you want to show (from project root including mounts)
  • lang is the file type. By default it is inferred by the file extension.

Source Code

Very meta.

{{- readFile (.Get "path") | safeHTML -}}
