A hugo shortcode that obfuscates email addresses; makes it more difficult for bots to crawl it from your website. Add the html file to your "layouts/shortcodes/" folder then you can use it in your content.

{{/* If you are using a CSP header this is how you can whitelist the inline-script */}}
{{/* its not optimal since it only changes every day and only if you regenerate the site */}}

{{ $currentDayNonce := now | time.Format "2006-01-02" | md5 }}
