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? -- Guillaume _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev

But from now on, if the preamble is longer than 5 paragraphs, I now extract the first 3. It fixes the issue with Gunnar's post on the front page. -- Guillaume _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev

Maybe you could improve it by forcing a "cut" before images, code snippets and such

As per Gunnar's request, you can now use the +++<!-- more -->+++ marker to explicitly mark the end of the preamble (same as in Hugo). For an example: posts/Gunnar/2018-02-26-putting-bean-validation- constraints-to-multimaps.adoc -- Guillaume On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 7:08 PM, Guillaume Smet <guillaume.smet(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 6:18 PM, Sanne Grinovero <sanne(a)hibernate.org&gt; > wrote: > >> Maybe you could improve it by forcing a "cut" before images, code >> snippets and such >> > > Made the extraction routine more Emmanuel compliant. > > There's still this weird post by Vlad on the front page but I prefer to > keep the logic as it is as it makes more sense for all the other posts.
