Summary
Allow the use of
page.taglineto overridepage.excerptin heading area.I want to have some custom text that more resembles a "description" of the article in the header area that's designated for the excerpt. However, manually overriding
page.excerptin front matter also changes the excerpt displayed in blog menu / pagination pages, which is a rather undesired impact. Using another variable likepage.taglineto override this makes it easier to handle and more flexible to use.For example, the text [Developer, system administrator, geek] on my front page is actually specified as
page.excerpt:https://github.com/iBug/iBug-source/blob/9837ea293a154b154404a18d533341dc93199cb5/index.md#L3
Context
Not related to any existing GitHub issue. My motivation is exactly as said: The need to customize this part of the theme. Since
excerptis by default automatically gathered from the first few characters of the content, it's less sensible to repeat the exact stuff in page heading.Rest assured,
taglineisn't a special variable (not touched by Jekyll, unlikeexcerptwhich may be automatically generated) and is only specified manually. I picked this name because a few other themes also uses the same name (example) and it's sure to be free of confusion.
