There are three ways to define the [content summary]:
|
|
|
|
1. Let Hugo create the summary based on the first 70 words. You can change the number of words by setting the `summaryLength` in your site configuration.
|
|
2. Manually split the content with a `<--more-->` tag in Markdown. Everything before the tag is included in the summary.
|
|
3. Create a `summary` field in front matter.
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
The `Truncated` method returns `false` if you define the summary in front matter.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
The `Truncated` method returns `true` if the content length exceeds the summary length. This is useful for rendering a "read more" link:
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ range .Pages }}
|
|
<h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
|
|
{{ .Summary }}
|
|
{{ if .Truncated }}
|
|
<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Read more...</a>
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
```
