Re: [hibernate-dev] [in.relation.to] Only display post summary in list pages
It's definitely better. There are a few drawbacks, such as the summary not
displaying for older, non-asciidoctor posts, but the list was barely usable
without your change, so I think it's still an improvement.
+1 to merge, thanks for working on this!
One improvement we could work on is to add an ellipsis when the summary is
too long, to handle those few posts where there isn't any title. Say we
would only keep the first 500 characters, something like that, and add
"(...)" at the end if we had to truncate the summary.
We may be able to hack something in CSS (I'm not sure, but maybe), but in
this case I'd rather try to something in Ruby, if possible. Do you think it
would be possible?

Hi,
It's been bugging me for a while and I took some time this morning to do
some changes to the post list pages of the blog.
We currently display the whole articles whereas I thought it would be
better to only display a summary of them and get people to the full article
with a button.
I pushed the changes on http://staging.in.relation.to/ .
It's based on the Asciidoctor preamble (most of the time) so it takes the
paragraphs that are before the first title. It's not perfect but it works
pretty well for most of the posts. We should probably try to write our
posts so that the summary looks good.
Thoughts?
