## Card Parameters

| Parameter  | Description                           |
|----------- |---------------------------------------|
| `link`     | URL (internal or external).           |
| `title`    | Title heading for the card.           |
| `subtitle` | Subtitle heading (supports Markdown). |
| `icon`     | Name of the icon.                     |

## Image Card

Additionally, the card supports adding image and processing through these parameters:

| Parameter  | Description                                 |
|----------- |---------------------------------------------|
| `image`    | Specifies the image URL for the card.       |
| `method`   | Sets Hugo's image processing method.        |
| `options`  | Configures Hugo's image processing options. |

Card supports three kinds of images:

1. Remote image: the full URL in the `image` parameter.
2. Static image: use the relative path in Hugo's `static/` directory.
3. Processed image: use the relative path in Hugo's `assets/` directory.

Hextra auto-detects if image processing is needed during build and applies the `options` parameter or default settings (Resize, 800x, Quality 80, WebP Format).
It currently supports these `method`: `Resize`, `Fit`, `Fill` and `Crop`.

For more on Hugo's built in image processing commands, methods, and options see their [Image Processing Documentation](https://gohugo.io/content-management/image-processing/).
