Syntax Highlighting

Markdown is Hugo’s primary content format. This page lists common syntax and shows how it renders in the Neso theme.

Hugo includes the Chroma syntax highlighter; no third‑party library is required. This theme optimizes its presentation and adds a few small improvements. Please configure it as described on this page.

Hugo provides several quick syntaxes beyond what Markdown supports, called “shortcodes”. This theme fine‑tunes the appearance of those shortcodes.
