Section that is nested under a page takes file path instead of URL path about zola HOT 4 OPEN

I just realised:

# The following files
/content/posts/2013-06-02_my-vacation/index.md
/content/posts/2013-06-02_my-vacation/comments/_index.md

is not meant to work, you cannot nest sections under a page.

I see, I think that mostly makes sense, but consider the following edge case.

You have a post about your vacation, which has a commenting section. Let’s assume the comments are pages too.

Without allowing sections nested under pages there’s no good way to paginate the comment section.

Also, keep in mind that the above directory structure still works, as in it compiles, but it works in a way that defies how people expect it to behave. Once the date from a directory name is removed, it seems safe to assume that further nested parts of the path will descend as so.

So, in conclusion, I get what you’re saying and I’ve never in the past needed sections nested within pages, but now that I’ve built a commenting system I do. (See: https://spenc.es/writing/email-as-a-commenting-system/#comments)

PS: Also individual comments as pages would allow taxonomies based on the author of the comment, in addition to pagination.

I also forgot to mention that I submitted a PR for this already, but that was when we thought it was a bug. #2369

If you allow it then, I assume as a feature there might be more requirements and tests added. I’m happy to do the work but I’m missing all the context @Keats has.

If we allow something like that, it should be a more general change, something like https://zola.discourse.group/t/proposal-deprecate-sections/1968
