Creating main page in sections that contains content but no listing of pages/files

support

I want to create a site that will only contain pages, in other words not a blog site.

I want the content to be divided into sections, where each section will contain of a “summary/intro” page and a number of “content” pages. The “content” pages are separate and I don’t want any automatic linking between the pages or a listing on the “summary/intro” page.

So I tried setting up something like this in the content folder

content
  |
  +--- sectionA
  |      |
  |      + _index.md
  |      + page1.md
  |      + page2.md
  +--- sectionB
         |
         + _index.md
         + page1.md

And it seem to generate the output I want, that is pages like example.com/sectionA/page1/, etc. However, I expected the output page example.com/sectionA/index.html page to contain the text from the _index.md file but there is only listing of the two other pages from that section.

What am I missing (I’m using the hugo-goa theme)?
How can I generate pages sections that contain the content from _index.md page and no listing of the other pages in that section?

I’d have to guess that the list.html layout template does not have a {{ .Content }} anywhere.

no listing of the other pages in that section?

Again, tweak the same list.html (or similar list layout template for your site) and get rid of the part in there that lists the pages in that section.

You can get better help if you can share the site source.

Thank you, I’m finally making some progress!!
