Preamble Text
It’s a common need to show some part of article in home page and then give a link to full article. NexT gives two ways to control how article is shown in home page. In other words, you can use following ways to show summary of articles and a Read More button.
Use <!-- more -->
in your article to break your article manually, which is recommended by Hexo.
If you have added description
and set its value to your article summary in front-matter, NexT excerpts description
as preamble text in homepage by default. Without description
, the full contents would be the preamble text in homepage.
You can disable it by setting value excerpt_description
to false
in NexT config file.
excerpt_description: true |
It is recommended to use <!-- more -->
(the first way) which can not only control what you want to show better, but also let Hexo’s plugins use it easily.
