## Quick Start
1. Create a directory for your series.
2. Create `_index.md` in the series directory.
3. Set up the `_index.md` front matter:
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/_index.md") }}
```toml
title = "Learning Rust"
template = "series.html"
sort_by = "slug"
transparent = true
[extra]
series = true
```
4. Create your series articles in this directory.

## Jump to Posts
When a series has a description over 2000 characters, a "Jump to posts" link automatically appears next to the series title:
##### TODO: Add screenshot with final design
To force the feature on or off, use the `show_jump_to_posts` option in the `[extra]` section of your section (series) or in `config.toml`. This setting follows [the hierarchy](@blog/mastering-tabi-settings/index.md#settings-hierarchy).
## Intro and Outro Templates
Series articles can have automatic introduction and conclusion sections. These are configured in your series' `_index.md`. A basic example:
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/_index.md") }}
```toml
[extra.series_intro_templates]
default = "This article is part of the $SERIES_HTML_LINK series."
[extra.series_outro_templates]
default = "Thanks for reading part $SERIES_PAGE_INDEX of $SERIES_HTML_LINK!"
```
### Template Types
The series system uses different templates based on an article's position in the series:
- `next_only` - Used for the first article (has next article but no previous)
- `middle` - Used for articles with both previous and next articles
- `prev_only` - Used for the last article (has previous article but no next)
- `default` - Fallback template used when a specific position template isn't defined
The system automatically determines which template to use based on the article's position. The templates are defined in the series configuration (`_index.md`), as `extra.series_intro_templates` and `extra.series_outro_templates`.:
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/_index.md") }}
```toml
[extra.series_intro_templates]
next_only = "Welcome to part 1! Next up: $NEXT_HTML_LINK"
middle = "Previous: $PREV_HTML_LINK | Next: $NEXT_HTML_LINK"
prev_only = "The final chapter! Previously: $PREV_HTML_LINK"
default = "Part $SERIES_PAGE_INDEX of $SERIES_PAGES_NUMBER"
```
All templates are optional. Template selection follows a priority system:
1. If a position-specific template exists (`next_only`, `middle`, or `prev_only`), it will be used
2. Otherwise, the `default` template is used
3. If no templates are defined at all, no series information will be displayed
See the [template example](#template-example) for a more elaborate example.
### Placement in Content
By default:
- Series introductions appear at the start of your article
- Series outro appears at the end (before footnotes, if any)
You can control exactly where these appear using `<!-- series_intro -->` and `<!-- series_outro -->` in your Markdown:
```markdown
This paragraph appears before the series introduction.
<!-- series_intro -->
Main content of the article.
<!-- series_outro -->
## Learning Resources
Extra content…
[^1]: Footnotes will always appear at the end.
```
## Variables
Series templates use a flexible variable system that lets you:
1. Reference series information (title, links)
2. Add navigation between articles
3. Show progress indicators
4. Include custom information using your own variables
Variables are placeholders starting with `$` that get replaced with actual content when your site builds. For example, `$SERIES_HTML_LINK` becomes a clickable link to your series index page.
There are three types of variables:
- [**Basic Series Variables**](#basic-series-variables): General information about the series
- [**Navigation Variables**](#navigation-variables): Links to previous/next articles
- [**Custom Variables**](#custom-variables): Your own placeholders for additional information

```toml

```
### Custom Variables
Series templates support custom variables for additional information you want to include across your series. The process takes two steps:
1. First, define your **placeholders** in your series configuration (`_index.md`):
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/_index.md") }}
```toml
[extra]
series = true
series_template_placeholders = ["$POSITION", "$TOPIC", "$DIFFICULTY"]
```
2. Then, in each series article, provide the values for these placeholders in `series_template_variables`:
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/article.md") }}
```toml
[extra.series_template_variables]
position = "first"
topic = "Variables and Types"
difficulty = "Beginner"
```
### Using Custom Variables
You can use your custom variables in any template, alongside the built-in variables:
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/_index.md") }}
```toml
[extra.series_intro_templates]
default = """
This is the $POSITION article in $SERIES_HTML_LINK.
Today's topic: $TOPIC
Difficulty level: $DIFFICULTY
"""
```
{{ admonition(type="warning", text="While placeholders are defined with uppercase (`$POSITION`), the variable names in `series_template_variables` must be lowercase (`position`).") }}
### Example with Custom Variables
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/_index.md") }}
```toml
# In the series configuration.
[extra]
series = true
series_template_placeholders = ["$LEARNING_TIME", "$KEY_CONCEPTS"]
series_intro_templates.default = """
📚 Part $SERIES_PAGE_INDEX of $SERIES_PAGES_NUMBER
⏱️ Estimated time: $LEARNING_TIME
🔑 Key concepts: $KEY_CONCEPTS
"""
```
{{ add_src_to_code_block(src="series/02-learning-rust/index.md") }}
```toml
# In an article of the series.
[extra.series_template_variables]
learning_time = "30 minutes"
key_concepts = "Functions, Error Handling, Pattern Matching"
```
This will output:
```text
📚 Part 2 of 5
⏱️ Estimated time: 30 minutes
🔑 Key concepts: Functions, Error Handling, Pattern Matching
```
{{ admonition(type="warning", title="Missing Variables", text="If you use a placeholder in your templates but don't provide its value in `series_template_variables`, the build will fail with an error listing the missing variables.") }}
