Hello,

I got a problem on the Kubernetes website which uses Hugo to generate content. My {{ .Summary }} variable is empty which is problematic because we use it for filling the description HTML meta tag. Do you see what is problematic in this code: [https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/19188](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/19188)  
[https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/470f932dd8649592152b0388c653d114e81ee74d/layouts/partials/head.html#L20-L25](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/470f932dd8649592152b0388c653d114e81ee74d/layouts/partials/head.html#L20-L25)

Best regards

Rémy

Hi there,

Having had a look at the content files, it seems having the `{{% capture %}}` shortcode is interfering with having a `.Summary` generated. Compare: `content/docs/test.md` vs `docs/setup/_index.md`.

I don’t really have a solution / suggestion though.
