Is clicking on that “more” quicktag such a big effort? 🙂
Is using the_excerpt() out of the question? It strips the tags, though, but they could be seen on the single post’s page.
it’s not a *huge* leap over the moon 😉 but still.. i’d like it to be automated
Very awesome! edited the script a little to put the <!–more–> after so many chars, now it’s smooth sailing.. I might look into it and make it put the <!–more–> after a word instead of it cutting the word in half though. Thanks bro!
I had initially implemented the script to put the <!–more–> after X number of characters, but that brought about the issue you saw, that is, words just cut up and it looks a little disjoint.
So I opted to change it to add the <!–more–> after the first paragraph to make the presentation on the main page a little nicer.

How do you make it so that the <!–more–> tag gets added after a determined amount of characters? I changed the $max_char_count to 100 but it did not do it.
Thanks!
You would need to do a little more than just change the $max_char_count, but I must warn you that if you add a <!–more–> tag in the middle of a post, when you go the full entry, the line will continue on a seperate paragraph.
This is the main reason that I chose to split after the first paragraph. That way things look fine even in the single page mode.
If you’re still interested in a character_count version, lemme know and I’ll send you a modified version.

I definately would like to get a modified version of the plugin. Here’s my email:

Our problem is that the posts are simply too long to show on the main page. What I need is something that will limit the amount of text for each post just on the main page. I found a similar plugin called Limit-Post but I could not get it to work. Then I found your plugin.
If you could send a modified version of the “more” tag plugin so that it truncates the text to a certain limit it would do a BIG help.
Thanks!!!
The plugin comes in my page as a complete code pages and messes everything up do i do somthing wrong maybe
