   Hello!

   I'd want to achieve such layout in archive.php page:

   <h2><a href=post_permalink>Post title</a></h2>
   <p><a href=post_permalink>Post excerpt ... tincidunt litterarum diam feugiat in ipsum</a></p>

   Is it possible at all? I've searched the forum and the web but haven't found any solution on how to display entire excerpt as a link.

   Thanks in advance.

   The excerpt already adds <p> tags i think, so why not just do...

   <a href="yourlink"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>

   Unfortunately, XHTML doesn't allow <p> inside <a>.

   Then you'll need to re-write the excerpt filter via a function in your theme/ else edit a core file to change the tags generated.

   Was aware it's not XHTML, but wasn't sure if that matters...

   I did more thorough search and found this topic:

   It works right in the template and doesn't require any mods.

   Thanks for your reply.
