+++ title = "Snippets" +++

A lot of the time, your larger documentation patterns will share some common techniques and utilities. For this reason, Infusion lets you save snippets of markdown in a snippets folder, alongside the main content folder.

The example visually-hidden.md snippet describes the CSS needed to create content that is visually hidden but still available to screen readers. Since this is a technique/utility you are likely to use often, it's nice to be able to just drop a snippet into your markdown content. The snippet shortcode lets you do exactly that:

{{}} {{% snippet file="visually-hidden.md" %}} {{}}

{{% note %}} To make your snippets truly reusable, try to write them in such a way that they make sense independent of surrounding text, a little bit like this note does. {{% /note %}}
