 * Hello,
 * For a template I’m developing I want to have two views for my articles. The 5
   latest articles are some bigger then articles posted earlier (6 to 15).
 * **Layout:**
    Article 1 (Date, title, first text, read more, author, amount of
   reactions) Article 2 (Date, title, first text, read more, author, amount of reactions)..
   Article 5 (Date, title, first text, read more, author, amount of reactions)
 * **Older posts (list of posts made earlier)**
    Article 6 (Date, title, read more,
   amount of reactions) .. Article 15 (Date, title, read more, amount of reactions)
 * I’ve found a little script that makes me skip the amount of posts that I want,
   but I only get the title back from it.

 * you could use a conditional statement to show the first five posts different;
   example:
 *     ```
       /*START OF THE LOOP*/; the_post();
       if($wp_query->current_post < 5 && !is_paged() ) :
       /*HOW TO SHOW THE FIRST FIVE POSTS*/
       else:
       /*HOW TO SHOW ALL OTHER POSTS*/
       endif;
       endwhile; /*END OF THE LOOP*/
       ```

 * I’m not a coder, but what I want to know is if it’s possible to code it in to
   this (first) line of the code:
 *     ```
       function mdv_recent_posts($no_posts = 5, $before = 'SHOW THE DATE OF THE POST', $after = ' SHOW THE READ MORE LINK, SHOW AMOUNT OF REACTIONS', $hide_pass_post = true, $skip_posts = 5, $show_excerpts = false) {
       ```
   
 * This code comes from the file functions.php
