* You want content of every type to be shown on the home page but only with limited [summary views][summaries].
* You only want a bulleted list of your content in a [taxonomy template]. Views make this very straightforward by delegating the rendering of each different type of content to the content itself.
To create a new view, create a template in each of your different content type directories with the view name. The following example contains an "li" view and a "summary" view for the `posts` and `project` content types. As you can see, these sit next to the [single template], `single.html`. You can even provide a specific view for a given type and continue to use the `_default/single.html` for the primary view.
In this example, `.Render` is passed into the template to call the [render function][render]. `.Render` is a special function that instructs content to render itself with the view template provided as the first argument. In this case, the template is going to render the `summary.html` view that follows:
Continuing on the previous example, we can change our render function to use a smaller `li.html` view by changing the argument in the call to the `.Render` function (i.e., `{{ .Render "li" }}`).
{{<codefile=layouts/_default/li.html>}}
