v2: Introduce show_overlay_excerpt and document (#1436)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Make excerpts optional in header overlay

Some posts and some header images don't lend themselves well to
displaying the excerpt in the overlay. Make this optional by
introducting a new boolean variable:

`page.header.show_overlay_excerpt`

Set it to implicitly default to `true` so existing users are unaffected by
testing explicitly for "!= false".

This can be enabled globally for a site by changing the default to `false`
in the local _config.yml, or per page by specifying the value in front
matter.

Document show_overlay_excerpt variable

* Add show_overlay_excerpt variable to the Header Overlay field documentation table.
