"Body text" question (excerpt/extended body) (3 posts)

    Hi, I've been using Nucleus CMS for a short while but am now checking out WordPress. WP seems more featureful and slicker. I have only one problem. I kind of like how Nucleus divides the post into main and extended body, where only the main body is visible in the main page, and the extended body on the single post page (with a read more link from the front page for posts with an extended body). I find this useful for very long texts where you don't want the post to dominate the front page entirely, or you want to add some extra information for those interested only.

    I can't see this feature in WP, the excerpt is not exactly the same thing. Is there a plugin or option that does this?

    Place:

    <!--more-->

    in the body of the post where you want to provide the break between what we call the "teaser" (what appears on main and archive pages) and the rest of the post content. The "more" Quicktag inserts this.

    Ah, that simple!

    Thanks... and I guess I ought to read the docs before I post more questions like that :)
