 ## List Related Content
 
-To list up to 5 related pages is as simple as including something similar to this partial in your single page template:
+Hugo uses "indices" based on front matter parameters to identify related content. By default, it creates indices for the "**keywords**" and "**date**" parameters but you can create an index for any parameters you like (see below). Read the ["related" package documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/gohugoio/hugo/related#pkg-variables) for more. The default behavior is to **exclude** related posts which are _newer_ than the current post. This can be configured via _includeNewer_ in your site-wide `config.toml` (see below).

+To use the default Related Content behaviour, please make sure these parameters are included (and match one another) in the front matter of your related posts e.g. include `keywords: [music]` to relate music posts.
