To render an unordered list of 5 random pages from a page collection:
<ul>
{{ $p := site.RegularPages }}
{{ range $p | collections.Shuffle | first 5 }}
<li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>Using the collections.D function for the same task is significantly faster.
