Pagination not being generated

That works now, but I can’t figure out how to limit it to X posts. It grabs every single one, and I don’t think I can use paginate_by to limit it? I tried {% if loop.index > 5 %} inside {% for page in recent_changes.pages %} but no luck.

Edit: I should have been using < (less-than), not > (greater-than). {% if loop.index < 5 %} does what I want!

Based on the stuff above I figured out how to create an archive though! For anyone in the future looking to do the same thing, here’s what I did.

archive.html:

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}{{ section.title }}{% endblock title %}
{% block content %}
<h2>News Archive</h2>
<ul>
    {% set recent_changes = get_section(path="news/_index.md") %}
    {% for page in recent_changes.pages %}
    {% if page.date and not page.template %}
    <li>
        {{page.date}} - <a href="{{ page.permalink | safe }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
    </li>
    {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock content %}

content/news/archive/_index.md:

+++
title = "News Archive"
template = "archive.html"
