HTTP headers let the client and the server pass additional information with an HTTP request or response....

In this blog post we will look into how we can add a Zoom-In effect for better visibility. We will be using Markdown Render Hooks from Hugo with HTML & CSS, implementing a non-javascript solution. View the outcome 👇 About Markdown Render Hooks Hugo offers really handy Markdown Render Hooks. These allow custom templates to override markdown rendering functionality. We will be using render-image hook to process out the images in the post as per our needs....
