# a picky “more” problem

 * I’ve been looking for ways to handle the “more” text.
 * Right now, my code looks like this:
 * `<?php the_content('Full Text',' | ','FALSE',''); ?>`
 * This renders “Full Text | comments…”
    but in a post without using more, it comes
   out as “| comments”.
 * Is there a way to not have | show up when there’s no more tag?

 * Just a thought but try this
    `<?php the_content('Full Text |','','FALSE','');?
   >`

 * if I do that, then the bar is going to get linked too, and I don’t want it to
   be included in the link.

 * I didn’t actually look up the parameters of the tag before I posted. That’s actually
   not the correct way to use that tag. [Here ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content)
   is the correct way. My guess is that if you look further down your template you’ll
   see where your comment link is preceded by a |. Just do a quick find of all the
   | in your template file.

 * oh my bad. the | wasn’t made by the script in the_content code but by another
   | further down.
 * but then how do I make the | show up IF there’s a more link and not show up if
   there’s no more link AND not be included as part of the more link?
