   Can you help?

 * Hi David,
 * Thanks for taking Post Notif for a spin!
 * Your question made me realize that the FAQ has a glaring issue; a badly-quoted
   string is being interpreted literally by the browser, so it is not showing you
   anything useful (unless you happen to look at the page source!). Let me make 
   a new attempt at it, here:
 * 7. @@postteaser
    * Description: Post’s content up to `<!--more-->`
 * Just to be clear, it does NOT allow you to specify a number of lines to show.
 * Thanks for identifying this; I will fix the FAQ with the new release.
 * Thanks,
    Devon

 * Hi David,
 * OK, this has been corrected in the FAQ; thanks again for calling my attention
   to it.
 * Thanks,

 * Devon,
    Thank very much for your reply. I understand know how (I think) to use
   the <more> tage but I am actually still unable to see any text when I use the
   @@postteaser tag. I just see blank lines instead of any sort of teaser. Here’s
   what I have on the Post Notif config page:
 *     ```
       Hi @@firstname,<br />
       <br />
       ISS Parent Portal has a new post called "@@posttitle".<br/>
       <br/>
       Here's the direct link to the post:<br />@@permalink<br />
       <br />
       Here's a teaser of the post:<br><br />@@postteaser<br />
       <br />
       <br/>
       @@signature<br /><br />
       ```
   
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi again Devon,
    I think I have it working now. I just had not actually added
   the “more” tag. I assumed it was implied at the end of the post, ooops!
 * Thanks for your help and the great plugin!
