Test Driven Development

Use the children shortcode to list the child pages of a page and the further descendants (children’s children). By default, the shortcode displays links to the child pages.

Usage

Parameter Default Description
style “li” Choose the style used to display descendants. It could be any HTML tag name
nohidden “false” When true, child pages hidden from the menu will not display
description “false” Allows you to include a short text under each page in the list.
when no desription exists for the page, children shortcode takes the first 70 words of your content. read more info about summaries on gohugo.io
depth 1 Enter a number to specify the depth of descendants to display. For example, if the value is 2, the shortcode will display 2 levels of child pages.
