# Zola 12 issues with continue-reading

I’ve observed some issues with `continue-reading` in Zola 12. This time it’s with template output, it looks the same as the issues with the RSS output I noted earlier.

## The template

```auto

				  {{ post.summary | safe }}

```

> Simple, just pulls the post.summary

## Observations

- A new unnecessary span with the ID is included (It should be harmless unless the ID conflicts)
- The rendered output of post.summary now includes truncated HTML beyond that specified in the markdown using

@SgtIria can you make a small reproduction? I cannot reproduce with your example locally.

## Zola V12+13

> The problem: Continue-reading text appearing in content.summary output.

After a lot of trial an error testing, we think we’ve narrowed it down to being a problem with markdown content that has a shortcode before the `<!-- more -->`

Markdown that works fine:

```auto
# Title 
Some text. 
<!-- more -->
Some more text...

```

Markdown that results in an injection of **continue-reading** HTML:

```auto
# Title 
Some text. 
{{ quote(body="Nothing is impossible. The word itself says - I'm Possible" author="Audrey Hepburn")}}
(Optional text here or not results in the same issue)
<!-- more -->
Some more text...

```

The `page.summary` output for this has `<span id="continue-readi` included right at the end of the output, its truncated, the `<span>` is not closed.

## Observation

The spurious text generated seems to be dependent upon the type of shortcode being used. If we use a shortcode for displaying an image we would get a different type of corruption/HTML inserted in the `page.summary` being displayed.

Thanks for narrowing it down! I think this is the last major bug to be fixed for 0.12.1 ([https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/1168](https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/1168))

I think [https://github.com/getzola/zola/pull/1181](https://github.com/getzola/zola/pull/1181) might fix it but i’ll add a test tomorrow.

I’ve added a test for that in [https://github.com/getzola/zola/pull/1181/commits/bbaefdf93fa92107eb0ee136747bf505caf0e1cc](https://github.com/getzola/zola/pull/1181/commits/bbaefdf93fa92107eb0ee136747bf505caf0e1cc) and it seems to work @SgtIria  
Can you clone it and verify? Let me know if you need help with the git/cargo commands

Ok, I rebuilt zola for windows V13 using PR 1181.

```auto

remote: Enumerating objects: 60, done.

λ git branch
  master

  zola-pr-1181

C:\Users\Iria\Zola\zola (zola-pr-1175 -> origin)
λ git checkout zola-pr-1181

   ...
   Compiling site v0.1.0 (C:\Users\Iria\Zola\zola\components\site)
   Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 8m 42s

```

I then rebuilt our site using V11 and this V13 of Zola. I then `diff` (Meld GUI) them to check for changes. They generated nearly exactly the same outputs for rss feeds.

We will run some more testing tomorrow, but it looks good at this point 🙂
