I had a bit of a struggle getting the content I wanted out of Ghost. I even started writing my own Handlebars helper until I realised Ghost wouldn’t load it.

I found a solution by combining Ghost and Javascript. I did a short write-up of how I did it here: [Ghost handlebars helpers + Javascript = secure filtering](https://themercenarygraef.com/posts/ghost-handlebars-helpers-javascript-secure-filtering/)

I might have gone the long way around to get it working. So if you know a shortcut let me know.
