Code Fences / Syntax highlighting

The syntax to use codefences is with backticks. If you provide the language after the first block of backticks, github will automatically put that in decent syntax highlighting. So, A simple code fence with AL code, can simply be done by:

```al
  procedure ALGuidelinesRock()
  var
    Customer: Record Customer;
  begin
    Customer.Get('10000');
    Customer.Name := 'waldo';
    Customer.Modify(true);
  end;
```

Results in:

  procedure ALGuidelinesRock()
  var
    Customer: Record Customer;
  begin
    Customer.Get('10000');
    Customer.Name := 'waldo';
    Customer.Modify(true);
  end;

Hugo Shortcodes

Since we’re using “Hugo”, we can use it’s shortcode. Here is a reference: https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/

It basically means we are able to use easy notations to do cool things. Let’s point out some useful shortcodes:
