automatic summary missing formatting/html

[bboehmke]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.77.0/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes

Description

If a manual summary is used the .Summary contains the HTML formatted manual summary but if the default auto summary is used it only contains the raw text (no markdown/no HTML).

In the template I used {{ .Summary }} and also tried variations with plainify and safeHTML as stated in the documentation but with no changes for the automatic summary.

Manual

Example:

---
title: "manual summary"
date: 2020-10-31T17:00:00+02:00
---

some summary content **with** markdown

<!--more-->

main content

Output:

<p>some summary content <strong>with</strong> markdown</p>

Automatic

Example:

---
title: "auto summary"
date: 2020-10-31T17:00:00+02:00
---

some summary content **with** markdown

main content

Output:

some summary content with markdown
main content

Just FYI - confirmed on latest Hugo, macOS arm64.

(I'm really glad you raised this, I thought for sure I was doing something wrong.)
