Use this method to provide useful information when displaying error and warning messages in the console:

{{< code file="layouts/partials/featured-image.html" lang="go-html-template" >}}
{{ with .Resources.GetMatch "*featured*" }}
  {{ with .Resize "300x webp" }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
{{ else }}
  {{ errorf "The featured-image partial was unable to find a featured image. See %s" .String }}
{{ end }}
{{< /code >}}

With shortcodes and render hooks use the `Position` method instead. Note that the `Position` method is not available to heading, image, and link render hooks.
