How do I exclude images from Middleman blog post summaries?

middleman

Solution

Try including `gem 'nokogiri'` into your Gemfile, running `bundle install` and starting your Middleman server with `bundle exec middleman server`.

Then you should be able to do `Nokogiri::HTML(article.summary).text` to retrieve text from summaries.

Problem

Is there any easy way to keep images from showing up in Middleman blog post summaries? I have images that appear near the beginning of my post, and therefore appear in the summary. I would like for the summary to only include text. I see that you can write your own summary generator, but I haven't learned Ruby yet. I'm hoping that this is a built-in option that I haven't come across yet.
