  Hi Henry,

  If you're looking to show the first few lines of the article on a section page you could do that with some minor theme customization.

  Following the linked instructions, edit your theme's section_page.hbs file, look for the block of code below and add the line in bold:

  {{#if section.articles}}
    <ul class="article-list">
      {{#each section.articles}}
        <li class="article-list-item {{#if promoted}} article-promoted{{/if}}">
          {{#if promoted}}
            <span data-title="{{t 'promoted'}}" class="icon-star"></span>
          {{/if}}
          <a href="{{url}}" class="article-list-link">{{title}}</a>
          {{#if internal}}
            <span class="icon-lock" title="{{t 'internal'}}"></span>
          {{/if}}
          
          <p class="excerpt">{{excerpt body}}</p>
        </li>
      {{/each}}
    </ul>
  {{else}}
    <i class="section-empty">
      <a href="{{section.url}}">{{t 'empty'}}</a>
    </i>
  {{/if}}

   

  This shows the first 120 characters of each article. You could go higher if needed by using f.e.:

  <p class="excerpt">{{excerpt body characters=200}}</p>

   

  I'm assuming you're on a stock Copenhagen theme but the same principles apply to other themes as well.

   

  Hope that helps!
