What is the best way to include a short summary of a blog post in the section index? I’d like to include the first paragraph of each post on the section page, but I’d like to avoid duplicating content if possible.

You can set a summary on your pages ([https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/page/#summary](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/page/#summary)), iterate on the section pages and print each `page.summary`

Oh perfect, thanks!

I thought I read the whole documentation, but somehow I missed that part!
