I have a series of posts in a Jekyll project where some of have just a title and some have a title and content. I want to do different things with the post in each case. For example:
{% for post in site.categories.publications %}
{{ post.title }}
{% if post.content == "" or post.content == nil or post.content == blank %}
<p>Nothing here.</p>
{% else %}
{{ post.content }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
But the if statement doesn't actually catch the empty posts. I based my conditions on this page, but none of the 3 possibilities catch the empty posts. Any ideas on how to handle these posts?
Make sure that you have nothing after your front matter

NO NEW LINE HERE !!
No spaces, no new lines
Sometimes text editors will add a newline at the end of the file. You can get rid of that with:
{% assign content = post.content | strip_newlines %}
and then test with:
{% if content == "" %}
