`strings.Repeat` provides the Go [`strings.Repeat`](https://golang.org/pkg/strings/#Repeat) function for Hugo templates. It takes a string and a count, and returns a string with consisting of count copies of the string argument.
```
{{ strings.Repeat "yo" 3 }} → "yoyoyo"
```
`strings.Repeat` *requires* the second argument, which tells the function how many times to repeat the first argument; there is no default. However, it can be used as a pipeline:
```
{{ "yo" | strings.Repeat 3 }} → "yoyoyo"
```
