How do I go about adding showing taxonomies associated with a page.

In my config.toml, I have:

```auto
taxonomies = [
    {name = "tags", feed = true},
]

```

And in the blog page, I have:

```auto
+++
title = "Blog Title"
date = 2022-07-01
description = "Blog description"
draft = false
[taxonomies]
tags=["colemak", "tech", "raila"]
+++

```

Whenever I try to access the taxonomies using `page.taxonomies.tags`, I encounter the error: Variable `page.taxonomies.tags` not found in context while rendering ‘post.html’. What did I do wrong?

I guess not all your pages have taxonomies?

You probably need to write it in a conditional and only use it if it is available. If any of your pages don’t define tags, then the variable will not exist when rendering that page.
