Hey there!

So my problem is that I try to loop though a list of posts and just use the `.Next` variable for navigation. And since `.Next` returns `nil` when there is no next post, I am searching for a way to jump back to the first post.

```auto
{{ if .NextInSection }}
   <a href="{{ .NextInSection.Permalink }}" class="wrapper">
      <span>
         <b>Next</b> Project
      </span>
      <h2>
         {{ .NextInSection.Title }}
      </h2>
   </a>
{{ end }}

```

This is what I have so far and I am really grateful for some help, thanks!

To clarify, you want to jump to the first page in the current section?

Untested, but you could do something like:

```auto
{{ if .NextInSection }}
    ...
{{ else }}

    {{ range last 1 .CurrentSection.Pages }}
        {{ .Permalink }}
    {{ end }}

{{ end }}

```
