Image shortcodes

Dual theme images

Useful if you want to use a different image for the light and dark themes:

{{ dual_theme_image(light_src="img/paris_day.webp", dark_src="img/paris_night.webp" alt="The Eiffel tower") }}

Usage

{{/* dual_theme_image(light_src="img/paris_day.webp", dark_src="img/paris_night.webp" alt="The Eiffel tower") */}}

Invertible image

Good for graphs, line drawings, diagrams… Inverts the colours of the image. The source image will be used for the light theme.

{{ invertible_image(src="img/graph.webp", alt="Invertible graph") }}

Usage

{{/* invertible_image(src="img/graph.webp", alt="Invertible graph") */}}

Dimmable image

Images with too much brightness or contrast can be jarring against a dark background. Here's an example of a photograph that dims when the dark theme is active.

{{ dimmable_image(src="img/desert_by_oskerwyld.webp", alt="Photograph of a desert, heavenly sky") }}

Usage

{{/* dimmable_image(src="img/desert_by_oskerwyld.webp", alt="Photograph of a desert, heavenly sky") */}}

Swap image on hover

Povides an interaction where the image displayed changes as the user hovers over it. Useful for before-after comparisons, for example.

{{ image_hover(default_src="img/edited.webp", hovered_src="img/raw.webp", default_alt="Edited picture", hovered_alt="Original shot") }}

Usage

{{/* image_hover(default_src="img/before.webp", hovered_src="img/after.webp", default_alt="Edited picture", hovered_alt="Original shot") */}}

Interactive image toggle

Display an image and switch to a different one on click. Ideal for highlighting differences or drawing attention to details.

{{ image_toggler(default_src="img/mojave_day.webp", toggled_src="img/mojave_night.webp", default_alt="Mojave during the day", toggled_alt="Mojave at night") }}

Usage

{{/* image_toggler(default_src="img/mojave_day.webp", toggled_src="img/mojave_night.webp", default_alt="Mojave during the day", toggled_alt="Mojave at night") */}}

Full-width image

The image will expand to match the width of the header, which is usually wider than the article text (except on mobile/small windows).

All other image shortcodes can be made into full-width by setting the optional parameter full_width to true.

{{ full_width_image(src="img/amsterdam_by_oskerwyld.webp", alt="Photograph of a canal in Amsterdam") }}

Usage

{{/* full_width_image(src="img/amsterdam_by_oskerwyld.webp", alt="Photograph of a canal in Amsterdam") */}}

Text shortcodes

Multilingual quotes

This shortcode allows you to display both the translated and original text for a quote. The quotation marks will be added automatically:

{{ multilingual_quote(original="Qué sosiego, ir por la vida en silencio, saludando sólo a los amigos.", translated="What tranquility, to go through life in silence, greeting only friends.", author="Francisco Umbral") }}

Usage

{{/* multilingual_quote(original="Qué sosiego, ir por la vida en silencio, saludando sólo a los amigos.", translated="What tranquility, to go through life in silence, greeting only friends.", author="Francisco Umbral") */}}

References with hanging indent

This shortcode formats a reference section with a hanging indent like so:

{% references() %}

{% end %}

Usage

{%/* references() */%}

Your references go here.

Each in a new line. Markdown (links, italics…) will be rendered.

{%/* end */%}

Spoiler

This shortcode allows you to blur text until the user clicks on it. Like this: Goldfish have a memory span of a few {{ spoiler(text="months. Yes, really.") }}

As you can see, Markdown is rendered. You can even add newlines with <br>.

This shortcode has the optional flag fixed_blur to blur a fixed placeholder ("SPOILER"), instead of blurring the actual contents. Like this: it is {{ spoiler(text="not necessary", fixed_blur=true)}} to wait 24 hours before filing a missing person report.

Usage

{{/* spoiler(text="text to hide", fixed_blur=false) */}}

Containers

Wide container

Use this shortcode if you want to have a wider table, paragraph, code block… On desktop, it will take up the width of the header. It will have no effect on mobile, except for tables, which will get a horizontal scroll.

{% wide_container() %}

Title	Year	Director	Cinematographer	Genre	IMDb	Duration
Beoning	2018	Lee Chang-dong	Hong Kyung-pyo	Drama/Mystery	7.5	148 min
The Master	2012	Paul Thomas Anderson	Mihai Mălaimare Jr.	Drama/History	7.1	137 min
The Tree of Life	2011	Terrence Malick	Emmanuel Lubezki	Drama	6.8	139 min

{% end %}

Usage

{%/* wide_container() */%}

Place your code block, paragraph, table… here.

Markdown will of course be rendered.

{%/* end */%}
