====== Blog module: The {more} tag ======

===== Description =====

Blog posts can be shortened or cut for custom excerpts, useful if you have a small "Latest News" section on your homepage.

===== Usage =====

In your blog post text, where you would like it to be cut, simply enter ''{more}''.

**Important** In your theme, use the ''[[template-tags:post_text_short|post_text_short()]]'' template tag to display only your excerpt (the text //before// the ''{more}'' tag). If there is no more tag, then the entire text will be shown.

===== Examples =====

<code>
This is a totally riveting blog post.
{more}
It began with a catchy intro and continues with more serious and boring filler text.
