Wowchemy-hugo-modules: Embed a scrolling window within a homepage section

[apetros]

Hi! I would like to add a News section on the home page to put important stuff (new paper, new student, travel, etc.). I can add a news.md file under content/home and add a list, the problem is I have to "trim" it myself when it gets long.

Is it possible to embed a section of fixed size with scroll-bar?

You can try adding something like the following to the content of your news.md Markdown file:

<div style="overflow: auto; height:100%; width:100%;">
Your News
</div>

Thanks @gcushen ! It works! I had to specify the height (instead of 100%) and also I had to add a character at the end, otherwise, the Markdown code inside the div was not parsed. This is what I used:

<div style="overflow: auto; height:150pt; width:100%;">
