description : List the child pages of a page

Use the children shortcode to list the child pages of a page and the further descendants (children's children). By default, the shortcode displays links to the child pages.
## Usage
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|:--|:--|:--|
| page | _current_ | Specify the page name (section name) to display children for |
| style | "li" | Choose the style used to display descendants. It could be any HTML tag name |
| showhidden | "false" | When true, child pages hidden from the menu will be displayed |
| description | "false" | Allows you to include a short text under each page in the list.<br/>when no description exists for the page, children shortcode takes the first 70 words of your content. [read more info about summaries on gohugo.io](https://gohugo.io/content/summaries/) |
