Alpine Theme -- Is there any advice on customizing to truncate like Tiny on home page?

[stoweboyd]

Using Alpine theme, but I would like to have truncated entries on the Home page, like Tiny supports. Ideas?

I struggled with that myself, and eventually just switched to Tiny.

The advice on this thread was beyond my technical knowledge, but perhaps you’ll find it helpful:

Truncating posts

I’m trying to set up truncated posts on the Alpine theme and having no luck. I followed the instructions here to create a custom theme and activated it. I then navigated to “Edit Custom Themes” and opened layouts/_default/list.html. The instructions say to look for this code: <div class="e-content"> {{ .Content }} </div> But the only code I see in list.html is this: {{ define "main" }} {{ partial "post-list.html" . }} {{ end }} Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks!
