How to show intro in frontpage, complete when clicked (7 posts)

    Hi
    I know it is a dumb question, but believe me, I've not found this in the manual nor links, etc.

    I'd like to know if there's a way to write the article and divide it into intro/complete

    I've seen this tag <-- more --> but it didn't work

    I want to show visitor an intro text, then to show the complete article when visitor clicks it

    Thanks a lot in advance

    The more tag should do what you want (that's it's purpose), but it should have an exclamation point:

    <!--more-->

    What happened when you used it?

    It was so ovbious but I didn't realize:

    There's a button in the WYSIWYG editor that lets you put the splitter between the intro and full article

    Thanks !

    PS: the <!--more--> tag works only in the code view

    OK, I'm a real newbie trying to solve this exact problem. Where in the WYSIWYG editor is the button that allows you put the splitter in there?

    Thanks in advance...

    it looks like a page with a dotted line cutting it in two, its nearer the right hand side
