+### `param`
+
+Gets a value from the current `Page's` params set in front matter, with a fall back to the site param value. If will log an `ERROR` if the param with the given key could not be found in either.
+
+```bash
+{{</* param testparam */>}}
+```
+
+Since `testparam` is a param defined in front matter of this page wi the value `Hugo Rocks!`, the above will print:
+
+{{< param testparam >}}
+
+To access deeply nested params, use "dot syntax", e.g:
+
+```bash
+{{</* param "my.nested.param" */>}}
+```
+
 ### `ref` and `relref`
 
 These shortcodes will look up the pages by their relative path (e.g., `blog/post.md`) or their logical name (`post.md`) and return the permalink (`ref`) or relative permalink (`relref`) for the found page.
