Summary === Description

I find .Summary very odd. https://gohugo.io/content-management/summaries/

Could it just be set to .Description instead?

Description is usually … the summary in any case in my experience.

Thanks!

Yes, it may be the same but it need not… As I see it, ‘summary’ is interpreted in the context of the article while ‘description’ can be interpreted standalone.

For example: Hey, what’s this article about the spreading of COVID19 virus via USBsticks? Read the summary.
Did Mike write a new book? According to the description it should be sensational.

Ok, well I think I want to alter the https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/_default/rss.xml to use Description instead of Summary, since I’m not happy with the feed summaries. They often make little sense. :rofl:
