Shortcode The best way, recommended by Hugo maintainer, is to create a shortcode. Create the shortcode Content of the shortcode include.html should simply have this: How to use the […]
Why turn off thumbnails? I’m using AVIF files generated locally on my Mac before uploading to my blog, the images are compressed and already have my desired size.
