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 }}
```
