How to get the category name when in a range?

support
#1

Hey,

I’m working with a range, for example:

{{ range first 1 .Pages }}
    <p><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Continue reading...</a></p>
    <h1>{{ .Section.Title }}</h1>
    <h2>{{ .Title }}</h2>
    <p>{{ .Summary }}</p>
{{ end }}

This code is in category.html in my theme. I’d like the H1 element to display the category name, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do that. Is there a variable for getting single category names from category list pages?

Best Regards,
Jonathan Clarke

I guess I could upgrade to v0.48 and use variables like so:

{{ $cat := .Title }}
{{ range first 1 .Pages }}
    <p><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Continue reading...</a></p>
    <h1>{{ $cat }}</h1>
    <h2>{{ .Title }}</h2>
    <p>{{ .Summary }}</p>
{{ end }}

But that feels like overkill.

Try:

  <h1>{{ $.Title }}</h1>

Works! Thanks, bep!

Also, note that you don’t need v0.48 (or Go 1.11) to use the variable construct you mention. The problem pre 0.48 was when setting variables on the inside.
