+## Overview
+
+Hugo supports Markdown attributes on images and block elements including blockquotes, fenced code blocks, headings, horizontal rules, lists, paragraphs, and tables.
+
+For example:
+
+```text
+This is a paragraph.
+{class="foo bar" id="baz"}
+```
+
+With `class` and `id` you can use shorthand notation:
+
+```text
+This is a paragraph.
+{.foo .bar #baz}
+```
+
+Hugo renders both of these to:
+
+```html
+<p class="foo bar" id="baz">This is a paragraph.</p>
+```
+
+## Block elements
+
+Update your site configuration to enable Markdown attributes for block-level elements.
+
+{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
+[markup.goldmark.parser.attribute]
+title = true # default is true
+block = true # default is false
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+
+## Standalone images
+
+By default, when the [Goldmark] Markdown renderer encounters a standalone image element (no other elements or text on the same line), it wraps the image element within a paragraph element per the [CommonMark specification].
+
+[CommonMark specification]: https://spec.commonmark.org/current/
+[Goldmark]: https://github.com/yuin/goldmark
+
+If you were to place an attribute list beneath an image element, Hugo would apply the attributes to the surrounding paragraph, not the image.
+
+To apply attributes to a standalone image element, you must disable the default wrapping behavior:
+
+{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
+[markup.goldmark.parser]
+wrapStandAloneImageWithinParagraph = false # default is true
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+## Usage
+
+You may add [global HTML attributes], or HTML attributes specific to the current element type. Consistent with its content security model, Hugo removes HTML event attributes such as `onclick` and `onmouseover`.
+
+[global HTML attributes]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes
+
+The attribute list consists of one or more key-value pairs, separated by spaces or commas, wrapped by braces. You must quote string values that contain spaces. Unlike HTML, boolean attributes must have both key and value.
+
+For example:
+
+```text
+> This is a blockquote.
+{class="foo bar" hidden=hidden}
+```
+
+Hugo renders this to:
+
+```html
+<blockquote class="foo bar" hidden="hidden">
+  <p>This is a blockquote.</p>
+</blockquote>
+```
+
+In most cases, place the attribute list beneath the markup element. For headings and fenced code blocks, place the attribute list on the right.
+
+Element|Position of attribute list
+:--|:--
+blockquote | bottom
+fenced code block | right
+heading | right
+horizontal rule | bottom
+image | bottom
+list  | bottom
+paragraph | bottom
+table | bottom
+
+For example:
+
+````text
+## Section 1 {class=foo}
+
+```bash {class=foo linenos=inline}
+declare a=1
+echo "${a}"
+```
+
+This is a paragraph.
+{class=foo}
+````
+
+As shown above, the attribute list for fenced code blocks is not limited to HTML attributes. You can also configure syntax highlighting by passing one or more of [these options](/functions/transform/highlight/#options).
