I want to publish chapters of multiple books, looking for guidance

Got it I think

{{- $pages := where site.RegularPages "Section" "==" .Section }}

Reading this helped where | Hugo


Next I want to try to automatically generate a list of posts within the section of a page excluding the current page.

So what I want would be like

...
Chapter 2 - 3/1/2021
Chapter 1 - 3/1/2021

With each line being a link to that chapter.
