Adding a summary to a blog post is important for several reasons:
Facilitate navigation: the summary allows readers to quickly find the sections that interest them without having to read the entire article. This can improve the reading experience and encourage readers to stay on your blog longer.
Improve readability: a well-structured summary can help make your article clearer and easier to follow. This can be especially important if your article is long or complex.
Promote SEO: a summary can help search engines understand the structure of your article and better rank it in search results. This can potentially increase traffic to your blog.
Show that you thought about your reader: by adding a summary, you show that you have taken into account the needs of your readers and that you want to offer them a pleasant and effective reading experience.
In summary, adding a summary to your blog post can improve navigation, readability, SEO, and show your commitment to your readers.
2. Add a “contents” attribute <Rich Text>to your blog post element
3. Add “link” attributes to the links in your summary
4. Publish your site and test the result
Bonus 1: Add style to the active state of your summary
The current state of the generated table of contents links integrates with the current native state of Webflow.
To change the “Current state” class in Webflow Designer:
See the green “Current” class appear in the Styles panel (add the current page link in your link settings)
Apply current/active styles for the link. These styles will be used when a link is active when scrolling through the table of contents.
Bonus 2: Add an offset
When a user clicks on a table of contents link, the page is anchored and scrolled to that content section. This attribute adds an offset to the top of the header content. Especially useful when your Heading goes behind your navigation bar.
