Cannot customize multiple pages with pagination like the 'blog' page

[AtivJoshi]

Discussed in https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/discussions/678

^{Originally posted by AtivJoshi May 21, 2022} I created a new folder called al-folio/misc and a file misc/index.html, a new folder _extras that contains all the posts that are to be displayed in the misc section and, created a new collection called extras in _config.yml file. The misc/index.html has the following content:

---
layout: default 
title: miscs
nav: true
nav_order: 3
pagination:
  enabled: true
  collection: extras
  permalink: /page/:num/
  per_page: 5
  sort_field: date
  sort_reverse: true
  trail:
    before: 1 # The number of links before the current page
    after: 3  # The number of links after the current page
---
Some text.

<!-- custom liquid code -->

Now, no matter what I put after the front-matter in misc/index.html, the misc page is always built according to the blog/index.html (i.e. the "Some text" string right after the front-matter is not displayed, instead the heading of blog/index,html is displayed ). Although the articles in the _extras directory are all displayed correctly with pagination, the formatting is just like the "blog" page and I cannot change it. What should I do to customize the misc page? Note that if I remove all the Liquid syntax, then the "Some text" string is displayed and the list of articles is not displayed.

I tried to implement this on my site a long time back, but was unable to do it. Though, I don't know if the jekyll-paginate-v2 plugin supports multiple pages or not.

Maybe it would be a better idea to open an issue with the upstream plugin repo.
