Are there short-codes in Jekyll?

Help

Is there a way to style a portion of the markdown file differently? Let say I want to style a part of the text like a speech bubble. Is there a way to custom style part of the text this way? In Hugo there are short-codes that can do that. Is there something like this in Jekyll?

includes sort of work similarly, and you can pass info to the include if needed.

There are several ways to achieve this:

Use Jekyll _includes along with parameters. Simple example would be to style an alert block.

<!-- /_includes/alert.html -->

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
  {{ include.content }}
</div>

And you’d use it in your content like so:


Some content here.

{% include alert.html content="Your alert text" %}

Some more content.

Write a custom Jekyll tag (aka a plugin). This would be similar to the include method above but you you’d have something like:

{% alert %}
Your alert content here.
{% endalert %}

Or you can Augment Kramdown written Markdown with selectors to apply CSS classes to a block of text styling it however you need.

Your alert text
{: .alert .alert-info}

Would you be able to somehow pass a couple of content blocks to the alert.html
for example:

<!-- /_includes/alert.html -->

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
  {{ include.content }}
</div>
<div class="link" role="link">
  {{ include.link }}
</div>

In the markdown file:

Some content here.

{% include alert.html content="Your alert text" link="link.com" %}

Some more content.
