This content:
{{< code file=content/services.md lang=md >}}
{{</* card title="Product Design" */>}}
We design the **best** widgets in the world.
{{</* /card */>}}
{{< /code >}}
With this shortcode:
{{< code file=layouts/shortcodes/card.html >}}
<div class="card">
{{ with .Get "title" }}
<div class="card-title">{{ . }}</div>
{{ end }}
<div class="card-content">
{{ trim .Inner "\r\n" }}
</div>
</div>
{{< /code >}}
Is rendered to:
```html
<div class="card">
<div class="card-title">Product Design</div>
<div class="card-content">
We design the **best** widgets in the world.
</div>
</div>
```
{{% note %}}
Content between opening and closing shortcode tags may include leading and/or trailing newlines, depending on placement within the Markdown. Use the [`trim`] function as shown above to remove both carriage returns and newlines.
[`trim`]: /functions/strings/trim/
{{% /note %}}
{{% note %}}
In the example above, the value returned by `Inner` is Markdown, but it was rendered as plain text. Use either of the following approaches to render Markdown to HTML.
{{% /note %}}
## Use the RenderString method
Let's modify the example above to pass the value returned by `Inner` through the [`RenderString`] method on the `Page` object:
[`RenderString`]: /methods/page/renderstring/
{{< code file=layouts/shortcodes/card.html >}}
<div class="card">
{{ with .Get "title" }}
<div class="card-title">{{ . }}</div>
{{ end }}
<div class="card-content">
{{ trim .Inner "\r\n" | .Page.RenderString }}
</div>
</div>
{{< /code >}}
Hugo renders this to:
```html
<div class="card">
<div class="card-title">Product design</div>
<div class="card-content">
We produce the <strong>best</strong> widgets in the world.
</div>
</div>
```
You can use the [`markdownify`] function instead of the `RenderString` method, but the latter is more flexible. See [details].
[details]: /methods/page/renderstring/
[`markdownify`]: /functions/transform/markdownify/
## Use alternate notation
Instead of calling the shortcode with the `{{</* */>}}` notation, use the `{{%/* */%}}` notation:
{{< code file=content/services.md lang=md >}}
{{%/* card title="Product Design" */%}}
We design the **best** widgets in the world.
{{%/* /card */%}}
{{< /code >}}
When you use the `{{%/* */%}}` notation, Hugo renders the entire shortcode as Markdown, requiring the following changes.
First, configure the renderer to allow raw HTML within Markdown:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true
{{< /code-toggle >}}
This configuration is not unsafe if _you_ control the content. Read more about Hugo's [security model].
Second, because we are rendering the entire shortcode as Markdown, we must adhere to the rules governing [indentation] and inclusion of [raw HTML blocks] as provided in the [CommonMark] specification.
{{< code file=layouts/shortcodes/card.html >}}
<div class="card">
{{ with .Get "title" }}
<div class="card-title">{{ . }}</div>
{{ end }}
<div class="card-content">
{{ trim .Inner "\r\n" }}
</div>
</div>
{{< /code >}}
The difference between this and the previous example is subtle but required. Note the change in indentation, the addition of a blank line, and removal of the `RenderString` method.

{{% note %}}
When using the `{{%/* */%}}` notation, do not pass the value returned by `Inner` through the `RenderString` method or the `markdownify` function.
