从主页/任何其他页面获取 Jekyll Pages 中特定帖子的阅读时间

Question

I am new to liquid and Jekyll, using the below code to calculate the post read time on the post page. But how should I calculate the reading time on the home page or any other page to display it below a post title?

When I use the same code on the homepage as well, I get different read times on the home page and inside that particular post.

I think I am not able to get the context of that post to count the number of words on some other page. Please suggest.

<span class="reading-time" title="Estimated read time">
  {% assign words = content | number_of_words %}
  {% if words < 360 %}
    1 min
  {% else %}
    {{ words | divided_by:180 }} mins
  {% endif %}
</span>

Answer 1

This is probably happening because, on the home page, you also have some HTML formatting your page.

Strictly speaking, you should indeed strip the HTML out of your content before counting the words, to have an accurate reading time.

So, using the strip_html filter could be a solution:

{% assign words = content | strip_html | number_of_words %}
