The Attachments shortcode displays a list of files attached to a page.

{{% attachments /%}}

## Usage

The shortcurt lists files found in a **specific folder**.
Currently, it support two implementations for pages

1. If your page is a Markdown file, attachements must be placed in a **folder** named like your page and ending with **.files**.

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * page.files
    >      * attachment.pdf
    >   * page.md

2. If your page is a **folder**, attachements must be placed in a nested **'files'** folder.

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * page
    >      * index.md
    >      * files
    >          * attachment.pdf

Be aware that if you use a multilingual website, you will need to have as many folders as languages.

That's all!
