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.
To list the pages in a section with a summary beneath each link:
```go-html-template
{{ range .Pages }}
<h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ .Summary }}
{{ end }}
```
