I am trying to stylize my homepage. I’m using the` <!-- more -->` tag to get a summary and `{{ post.summary | markdown | safe }}` in the `macros.html` as recommended in the docs. The problem is that the formatted text comes with a` <p>` opening tag at the beginning, e.g.

`{{ post.summary | markdown | safe }}`

becomes

`<p> This is the first line of my blog post. You have no idea what's coming next...`

and without the closing `</p>` tag.

This initial `<p>` tag is causing me formatting headaches. Why is it there, and what can I do about it?

My guess is that it’s pulling the initial HTML from the post, which includes that tag.

Thanks,

-A

Edit: solved. See below. Answer was in the docs.

I found the answer.

`{{ post.summary | markdown(inline=true) | safe }}`

solves it.
