I’m trying to get the latest post in each section with this code:

`{{ range first 1 (where .Site.Pages "Section" "in" (slice "section-1" "section-2" "section-3")) }}`

But it only ranges one post.

If I change it to 3, it doesn’t work as well.

Thank you! You made my day.

I’ve modified it a bit to render contents and

I’m trying to enable the toc but it doesn’t seem to recognize the h2 in the contents.

```auto
{{ define "main" }}
  <main id="main">

    <h1>
      <svg class="bookmark-icon" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 40 50" focusable="false">
        <use href="#bookmark"></use>
      </svg>
      {{ .Title }}
    </h1>

    <div class="date">
      {{ $dateFormat := $.Site.Params.dateFormat | default "Jan 2, 2006" }}
      {{ $publishDate := .PublishDate }}
      <strong>{{ T "publish_date" }} </strong>{{ $publishDate.Format $dateFormat }}
      {{ with .Lastmod }}
        {{ if gt . $publishDate }}
          <br>
          <strong>{{ T "last_updated" }} </strong>{{ .Format $dateFormat }}
        {{ end }}
      {{ end }}
    </div>

    {{ with .Params.tags }}
      <div class="tags">
        <strong>{{ T "tags" }} </strong>
        <ul aria-label="{{ T "aria_label_tags" }}">
          {{ range . }}
            <li>
              <svg class="tag-icon" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 177.16535 177.16535" focusable="false">
                <use href="#tag"></use>
              </svg>
              {{ $href := print ("tags/" | relLangURL) (. | urlize) "/" }}
              <a href="{{ $href }}">{{ . }}</a>
            </li>
          {{ end }}
        </ul>
      </div>
    {{ end }}

    {{ partial "toc.html" . }}

    {{ $p := slice }}
    {{ range (slice "articles" "books" "posts") }}
      {{ $p = $p | append (index (where site.RegularPages "Section" . | first 1) 0) }}
    {{ end }}
    
    {{ range $p.ByDate }}
      {{ .Content }}
    {{ end }}
  </main>
{{ end }}

```

The `.TableOfContents` for a single page is built from the markdown in the content file (e.g., content/posts/post-1.md).

The `.TableOfContents` for a list page is built from the markdown in the content file (e.g., content/posts/\_index.md).

The rendered `.Content` from the pages you are ranging over will never be part of the TOC.

Can you add the ability to range only the ones that are dated today.

I’ve tried this but it doesn’t work.

```auto
{{ $p := slice }}
{{ range (slice "articles" "books" "posts") }}
  {{ $p = $p | append (where site.RegularPages "Section" . "Date" (time.Now.Format "2006-01-02") | first 1) 0) }}
{{ end }}

{{ range $p.ByDate }}
  <h3><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h3>
{{ end }}

```

You need to nest your `where` clauses.

See docs:
