Use subtitle frontmatter variable if it exists
koljapluemer opened this issue · 3 comments
Hi,
if I am not mistaken, the variable subtitle (of specific posts) gets ignored currently. However I think it is quite commonly used and thus it would be nice if the subtitle of a post would show up in the RSS feed, if its exists.
An example; I am also using my RSS feed to generate Medium posts, and Zapier with Medium explicitly allows setting of a subtitle via RSS - I am currently cheesing this by misusing the description tag.
I would be happy to work on this request but I wanted to ask whether I am missing anything which would make this feature a bad idea ;)
Have you tried excerpt? It may be slightly different semantically but we commonly use that in places where we want a bit more detail but not the entire post.
Yes that is possible, but I find that similarly inconvenient as (mis)using description. I actively use excerpt to show snippets of posts in my overview - so I cannot use that in the actual post to display title, subtitle and content, because that would repeat the beginning of the post body twice.
