Conceptually different that a [content summary], a page description is typically used in metadata about the page.

{{< code-toggle file=content/recipes/sushi.md fm=true >}}
title = 'How to make spicy tuna hand rolls'
description = 'Instructions for making spicy tuna hand rolls.'
{{< /code-toggle >}}

{{< code file=layouts/baseof.html  >}}
<head>
  ...
  <meta name="description" content="{{ .Description }}">
  ...
</head>
{{< /code >}}
