How to hide description content from the main contents fr Docs module

[AbdulSayyed]

I am using the HBStack docs module to build documentation sites. The sidebar/content panel correctly displays the title and description (summary) of each file, which is the intended behavior.

However, when I click on a file to view its content, the main content area also displays the description at the top of the page. This results in the description being shown again. I would like to have the option to hide the description in the main content area, so that it only appears in the sidebar/content panel. The reason is that I already have a summary present at the top to show what the document is about. Is there any way I can hide the description from being shown

What about just removing the description from front matter?

The summary should be used if description is no set.

Thanks, but I would like to keep the description there so that when, for example, the module-1 nav bar is clicked, all the file titles are shown along with the description. However, when file contents are to be shown, I want to hide them. Let me know if I need to use any hooks for this purpose and how, thanks

The summary should be used as the description on doc sections (have subpages) if it is no set, the main issue in this case is that the description is same as the summary, that is, it's duplicate, so why wouldn't you just removing the description if there is duplicate summary, it reduces the workflow of writing as well.

Look at the snapshot, under Kubernetes lab setup, in this section, you can see what is present in Module-1. There are only two files. The first one is K8s Setup, which has a front matter with a description. However, the second one does not have it, so it picks up other contents, which is not desired at all. Therefore, I need to have a description in the front matter to avoid this happening.

When I click to see what is in the first file, titled k8s Setup, I get to see both the description and the summary. I would like to hide the description in the main content.

I think I have made the difficulty faced clear. Furthermore, there may be places where I would want to see both present as well. A description and summary of a document are not semantically the same. Thanks

If you insist to do so, you can either track this issue hbstack/docs#1024 (may not happen fast), or create layouts/docs/single.html on your site with the content, and remove the following lines https://github.com/hbstack/docs/blob/bb6d23cb033227345f006d3816754b7398f1dab3/layouts/docs/single.html#L17-L19

Available since docs module v0.24.0, to hide it via setting hide_subtitle on frontmatter.

hide_subtitle: true
