You could for instance check the value of the $previous variable.
If it's empty, there's only 1 page - if it's &nbsp; you're on the first
page - otherwise, you're on some subsequent page.

So something like this would only show the summary on the
first page :

<xar:if condition="empty($previous) or $previous eq '&nbsp;'">
    #$summary#
<xar:else/>
    <!-- hide the summary here -->
</xar:if>

It would probably be easier if we passed the $page variable
to the template, but this should work for now... :-)
