Allow disabling summarization

[mitar]

Currently, if I want whole content to be used as the front-page summary, I have to add <!--more--> at the end of the post for whole content to be used without any "summarization" (text converted to plain text). It would be great if there would be a way to disable this content conversion and that I could configure that only a manual split should happen and only if <!--more--> is provided and in all cases that no special conversion should happen.

May be you can test your inner and decide to use either summary or content ?

Making summary behave like content seems a bit strange ...

Sorry, but I do not understand what you are asking here.

Making summary behave like content seems a bit strange ...

I mean, summary is initial content, and then the rest of the content follows. This is why you have manual summary splitting. I think this is a pretty common thing.

What I am asking for is that if there is no <!--more--> tag present, I would like the automatic summary splitting to not come into the effect, but would like full content to be used as a summary.

Currently I have the following in my template for the list of posts:

        {{ .Summary }}
        {{ if .Truncated }}
        <p class="read_more_container">
            <a href="{{ .Params.href | default .Permalink }}"
               class="read_more">
                Keep reading
            </a>
        </p>
        {{ end}}

I set summaryLength = 1000000000000000, but it looks like summary still gets passes through plainify automatically. But only if no <!--more--> is present. So I would like to disable this automatic conversion/splitting altogether?

[divinerites]

I mean : may be you can use and test if your {{ .Inner }} contains "< !-- more -- >" and then use either {{ .Summary }} or {{ .Content }}

[mitar]

I see. I didn't know I could access raw content or that I could check if it contains <!--more--> and that that will not be extracted out. I tried to see how to get this to work but could not make it. Could you write the syntax how to implement such check, please?

[patdavid]

Can't you just switch based on the presence of .Truncated?

{{ if .Truncated }}
    {{ .Summary }}
{{ else }}
    {{ .Content }}
{{ end }}

[mitar]

No, .Truncated does not apply here at all. The problem is not about that.

So if I have content <!-- more --> content then .Truncated is set. But if I have just content <!-- more --> or just content then .Truncated is not set. I think this is expected behavior.

What is not expected is that if I have content, then plainify happens, but if I have content <!-- more --> then plainify does not happen.

Unless I'm missing something, this addresses the use case as described:

{{ if findRE `<!--more-->` .RawContent }}
  {{ .Summary }}
{{ else }}
  {{ .Content }}
{{ end }}

We are not adding a configuration option to provide this behavior.

[mitar]

Thank you. This indeed works. No need then for a setting.
