Description
I have a blog post with a description that contains inline r (to estimate reading time)
it renders nicely for the post itself
but not in the listing page!
here's the yml of my post's index.qmd:
---
draft: false
title: A nice blog post
description: |
Reading time: `r ifelse(file.size("index.qmd")/2000 <= 1, '<1 minute', paste0(round(file.size("index.qmd")/2000), ' minutes'))`
---
Any idea of how I can fix the listing?
