I am new to JBake. I saw the default way of creating an index page.
<#list posts as post>
<#if (post.status == "published")>
-- design your posts here
</#if>
</#list>
This pulls up all the posts in descending order.
This looks great, with only one problem which is, I am not sure how to highlight my latest post.
So I want to do something like,
<#list posts as post>
<#if (post.status == "published")>
<#if (this is latest post)>
use highlighted style
</#if>
<#if (this is not a latest post)>
use normal style
</#if>
</#if>
</#list>
How can I achieve this?
Here is one solution that works for JBake v2.4.0:
<#list posts as post>
<#if (post.status == "published")>
<#if (post_index == 0)>
//apply highlight style
<#else>
//apply normal style
</#if>
</#if>
</#list>
To speed up the rendering of the page you could just use the published_posts variable too:
<#list published_posts as post>
<#if (post.status == "published")>
<#if (post_index == 0)>
//apply highlight style
<#else>
//apply normal style
</#if>
</#if>
</#list>
If you update JBake to use Freemarker v2.3.23 instead you can then use post?is_first instead of post_index == 0.
