Adding a Content Block Summary
A summary provides a short description of a content block to
supplement the title when displaying a list of content blocks on a
Web page. When you create or edit a content block, you can
create a summary.
A good example of using a summary is a news Web site. A page
on that site could list the top stories followed by a quick summary
of each (illustrated below).

The title of a summary is the title of the content block, and links to
the page with the full article. Below the title is a brief description
that grabs the reader’s attention.
Like content blocks, summaries can include images and files as
well as different font styles and sizes. This chapter explains how to
create summaries and how they can help navigation within your
site. Your system administrator determines how to display the
summaries on your site.
