Trouble with Hugo Shortcode Variables affecting Table of Contents rendering

Title: Trouble with Hugo Shortcode Variables affecting Table of Contents rendering

I am currently utilizing Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) to serve static documentation, and I've implemented a custom shortcode to incorporate variables within the text. Although I have defined the shortcode and it functions well throughout my .md files with the syntax {{< params "example" >}}, I am encountering an issue specifically related to the Table of Contents (ToC) rendering.

Here's the content of my layouts/shortcodes/params.html:

{{ $variables := getJSON (printf "data/%s-variables.json" .Site.Params.buildFor) }}
{{ $key := .Get 0 }}
{{ $value := index $variables $key }}
{{ $value | safeHTML }}

In the content, using the variable within a heading causes the Table of Contents to display unexpected behavior. For instance:

Within the content, the following header renders correctly:

## Access the {{< params "bookName" >}}

However, the Table of Contents displays the following:

Access the HAHAHUGOSHORTCODE-s1-HBHB

I am seeking guidance on resolving this Table of Contents problem while maintaining the correct rendering of headers within the content. Any assistance or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Check your shortcode notation, a la: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/unknown-shortcode-token-error-in-v0-111-x/43387/2

I.e. {{% %}} instead of {{< >}}.

If that doesn't fix, let me know...
