With the use of the .Summary
page variable, Hugo generates summaries of content to use as a short version in summary views.
Summary Splitting Options
- Hugo-defined Summary Split
- User-defined Summary Split
It is natural to accompany the summary with links to the original content, and a common design pattern is to see this link in the form of a "Read More ..." button. See the .RelPermalink
, .Permalink
, and .Truncated
page variables.
Hugo-defined: Automatic Summary Splitting
By default, Hugo automatically takes the first 70 words of your content as its summary and stores it into the .Summary
page variable for use in your templates. Taking the Hugo-defined approach to summaries may save time, but it has pros and cons:
- Pros: Automatic, no additional work on your part.
- Cons: All HTML tags are stripped from the summary, and the first 70 words, whether they belong to a heading or to different paragraphs, are all put into one paragraph.
{{% note %}}
The Hugo-defined summaries are set to use word count calculated by splitting the text by one or more consecutive white space characters. If you are creating content in a CJK
language and want to use Hugo's automatic summary splitting, set hasCJKLanguage
to true
in you site configuration.
{{% /note %}}
User-defined: Manual Summary Splitting
Alternatively, you may add the <!--more-->
summary divider where you want to split the article. For org content, use # more
where you want to split the article. Content that comes before the summary divider will be used as that content's summary and stored in the .Summary
page variable with all HTML formatting intact.
{{% note "Summary Divider"%}} The concept of a summary divider is not unique to Hugo. It is also called the "more tag" or "excerpt separator" in other literature. {{% /note %}}
- Pros: Freedom, precision, and improved rendering. All HTML tags and formatting are preserved.
- Cons: Extra work for content authors, since they need to remember to type
<!--more-->
(or# more
for org content) in each content file. This can be automated by adding the summary divider below the front matter of an archetype.
{{% warning "Be Precise with the Summary Divider" %}}
Be careful to enter <!--more-->
exactly; i.e., all lowercase and with no whitespace.
{{% /warning %}}
Example: First 10 Articles with Summaries
You can show content summaries with the following code. You could use the following snippet, for example, in a section template.
{{< code file="page-list-with-summaries.html" >}} {{ range first 10 .Data.Pages }}
{{ .Title }}
{{ .Summary }}Note how the .Truncated
boolean valuable may be used to hide the "Read More..." link when the content is not truncated; i.e., when the summary contains the entire article.
