Article is a complex content type, with title, excerpt and body. Articles are available through blog object, which is a "container" of articles.
Articles are available on pages which are in "News & Blog" type. On a page of that kind, you can iterate over multiple articles like this
On blog page template, articles in this blog are available as an array:
{% for article in articles %}
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<div>
{{ article.body }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
Single article is available on article page (which, in turn, derives "News & Blog" page). On single article page you can use article variable directly. You can also make these values editable on article page:
<h1>{% editable article.title %}</h1>
<div>
{% editable article.body %}
</div>
There is also a accessor method on site to get latest 10 articles on site simply by using
{% for article in site.latest_articles %}
<b>{{ article.title }}</b><br>
{% endfor %}
To display only the latest article, limit keyword in for tag can be used
{% for latest_article in site.latest_articles limit: 1 %}
<b>{{ latest_article.title }}<b/><br>;
{% endfor %}
Article may also have comments. See comments function for accessing them and how to use comments.
