Linking Inline News to Full Blog Posts in al-folio ✍️

In content-heavy academic websites, providing concise summaries through inline posts while maintaining access to deeper insights in full blog entries can greatly enhance navigability and clarity. In my case, I use al-folio—a Jekyll-powered academic theme—to present inline event highlights that point users toward detailed posts.

✅ Scenario

Suppose you have:

  • An inline post at: /_news/announcement-post-1.md
  • A blog post at: /_post/2024-05-01-blog-post-1.md
    with a permalink: your-site-url/blog/2025/blog-post-1

🔗 Linking Workflow

Inside your inline post, use the following snippet to create a clean link to the full article:

[Read the full post](/blog/2025/blog-post-1)

So, your /_news/announcement-post-1.md might look like:

---
layout: post
date: 2025-01-26 16:50:16+0600
inline: true
related_posts: false
---

🔔 [announcement post 1](/blog/2025/blog-post-1)

And, your /_post/2024-05-01-blog-post-1.md might look like:

---
layout: post
title: blog post 1
date: 2025-05-01 16:40:16
description: "A description"
tags: ECA
categories: undergraduate-life
permalink: /blog/2025/blog-post-1
---

Body text would be here
