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" %}}

{{%/* button href="https://gohugo.io/" %}}Get Hugo{{% /button */%}}
{{%/* button href="https://gohugo.io/" style="warning" icon="dragon" %}}Get Hugo{{% /button */%}}

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

{{ partial "shortcodes/button.html" (dict
    "context" .
    "href" "https://gohugo.io/"
    "content" "Get Hugo"
)}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/button.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "href" "https://gohugo.io/"
  "style" "warning"
  "icon" "dragon"
  "content" "Get Hugo"
)}}

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

Once the button is clicked, it opens another browser tab for the given URL.
