Kita Shortcodes

The Kita theme providers multiple shortcodes.

Never heard of shortcodes? See Zola documentation for more information.

Mermaid

To use Mermaid in your page, you have to set extra.mermaid = true in the frontmatter of page.

+++
title = "Your page title"

[extra]
mermaid = true
+++

Then you can use the mermaid() shortcodes like:

{% mermaid() %}

graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;

{% end %}

This will be rendered as:

  graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;

In addition, you can use code block inside mermaid() shortcodes and the code block will be ignored.

The code block prevents formatter from breaking mermaid's formatting.

{% mermaid() %}

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail!
    John-->>Alice: Great!
    John->>Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
```

{% end %}

This will be rendered as:

  
sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail!
    John-->>Alice: Great!
    John->>Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->>John: Jolly good!

Admonition

The admonition() shortcode displays a banner to help you put notice in your page.

You can use the admonition() shortcode like:

{% admonition(type="tip", title="tip") %}
The `tip` admonition.
{% end %}

The admonition shortcode has 12 different types:

Gallery

The gallery() shortcode is very simple html-only clickable picture gallery that displays all images from the page assets.

It's from Zola documentation

{{# gallery() #}}
