[Pmwiki-users] How to break text . . .

[Ben Wilson]

It's close to what I want, about an 80 percent solution. Allow me to
restate my goal.

I want a full page of text that has a break tag embedded in it (probably
a DoubleBracket). When that page is included on another page, then only
the text prior to the break tag is visible. The break tag itself is
converted to a "Read More". This allows for the top segment of a page to
be used as teaser material in another page.

With this approach in mind, I could have a series of complete articles,
and a single page where they are "included" with the abbreviated text
being visible. This would allow for a blog-like approach where you get
to pick and chose the articles and their order.

I think what I need to figure out is how to "substitute all text after
the tag with a 'read more' link."
