## Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{< tabs groupId="shortcode-parameter">}}
{{% tab title="shortcode" %}}

````go
{{</* openapi src="https://petstore3.openapi.io/api/v3/openapi.json" */>}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="partial" %}}

````go
{{ partial "shortcodes/openapi.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "src" "https://petstore3.openapi.io/api/v3/openapi.json"
)}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

### Parameter

| Name                 | Default          | Notes       |
|:---------------------|:-----------------|:------------|
| **src**              | _&lt;empty&gt;_  | The URL to the OpenAPI specification file. This can be relative to the URL of your page if it is a leaf or branch bundle. |

{{% notice note %}}
If you want to print out (or generate a PDF) from your OpenAPI documentation, don't initiate printing directly from the page because the elements are optimized for interactive usage in a browser.

Instead, open the [print preview]({{% relref "basics/configuration/#activate-print-support" %}}) in your browser and initiate printing from that page. This page is optimized for reading and expands most of the available sections.
