Refactor excerpt and description handling for consistency#76
Merged
Conversation
- Enable page_excerpts in _config.yml so Jekyll auto-generates
page.excerpt for pages (not just posts)
- resource.html: move description from body to header hgroup subtitle;
resources use description in front matter, not excerpt, so the old
header check was dead code
- project.html: remove dead {% if page.description %} body block;
projects use excerpt (shown in header), description was never set
- jsonld.html: fix meetup Event description, which was always empty
since meetups have no description front matter field; fall back to
page content stripped and truncated to 50 words
