+Several custom shortcodes are included to augment CommonMark (courtesy of d3c3nt theme), in addition to those [already provided by Zola][built-in]. `video`, `image`, `gif`, and `audio` were created to help you take advantage of modern HTML elements in your writing.

+
+## Video
+
+The `video` shortcode takes a `sources` parameter (an array of strings)
+and returns a `<video>` tag. Each string in the `sources` array should
+be a path to a video file of a different type (`webm`, `mp4`, etc). Each
+individual source is then converted into a `<source>` tag, and the
+element is returned.
+
+### Usage
+```rs
+{{/* video(sources=["example.webm", "example.mp4"]) */}}
+```
+### Output
+```html
+{{ video(sources=["example.webm", "example.mp4"]) }}
+```
+
+## Image
+
+The `image` shortcode returns a `<picture>` tag and accepts three
+parameters: `sources` (an array of strings), `fallback_path`, and
+`fallback_alt` (both strings).
+
+Each string in the `sources` array should be a path to an image file of
+a different type (`webp`, `png`, `jpg`, etc). `fallback_path` and
+`fallback_alt` are used to create an `<img>` tag for the browser to fall
+back on if the other formats aren't yet supported.
+
+### Usage
+```rs
+{{/* image(sources=["example.webp", "example.jpg", "example.png"], fallback_path="example.png", fallback_alt="Lorem Ipsum") */}}
+```
+### Output
+```html
+{{ image(sources=["example.webp", "example.jpg", "example.png"], fallback_path="example.png", fallback_alt="Lorem Ipsum") }}
+```
+
+## GIF
+
+The `gif` shortcode is exactly the same as the [video shortcode][video]
+– it takes an array of strings called `sources` and returns a
+`<video>` tag. The only difference is in the outermost tag, which has
+four additional properties: `autoplay`, `loop`, `muted`, `playsinline`.
+
+Using the `<video>` tag in place of gifs allows for reduced file sizes,
+which is especially important in regions where internet is slower or
+less reliable.
+
+### Usage
+```rs
+{{/* gif(sources=["example.webm", "example.mp4"]) */}}
+```
+### Output
+```html
+{{ gif(sources=["example.webm", "example.mp4"]) }}
+```
+
+## Audio
+
+The `audio` shortcode takes a `sources` array of strings and returns an
+`<audio>` tag. Each string in the `sources` array should be a path to an
+audio file of a different type (`wav`, `ogg`, `mp3`, etc).
+
+### Usage
+```rs
+{{/* audio(sources=["example.wav", "example.ogg", "example.mp3"]) */}}
+```
+### Output
+```html
+{{ audio(sources=["example.wav", "example.ogg", "example.mp3"]) }}
+```
