Can I display a customised list of posts inside a Page?

I want to have a curated list of topics on the main menu. I can do this using tags (by putting the tagged url in the menu), but this doesn't allow me to have a custom introductory text for each tag.

Say I want to put Coffee and Cities on my menu. I want to write something about coffee in general, followed by a list of all posts tagged coffee. Ditto, for Cities. The introductory text is different for the two topics, so I can't just put it in tagged.html

Will be grateful for tips that'll help me achieve this. Thanks.

If you're willing to bake the text into your template, you could use CSS to conditionally hide/show paragraphs based on the tag. For example, you could add the following to your template's tagged.html view to hide all introductory paragraphs without the current tag:

<p class="intro apple">This is the introduction shown for the tag apple.</p>

<p class="intro orange">This is the introduction shown for the tag orange.</p>

<style type="text/css">
.intro:not(.{{tag}}) {display:none}
</style>

If however, you plan to edit the custom introductory text for each tag regularly and would like to store the text in your folder, please let me know. I can provide an even hackier workaround!
