 * hi apljdi,
 * Thank you very much.
 * with <?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
    turn out to be a table data: <table…
   > … … </table>
 * I’m thinking how actually from where the content data is being populated, is 
   it being retrieved from database level ? or defined somewhere.
    I checked all
   the files in wp-includes/* , I couldn’t find anything that define that.
 * I still puzzle…from where does the
    `the_content(__('(more...)'));` get the content
   data from specifically?
 * cheers,
    Sky

 * Hi apljdi,
 * thanks for reply.
 * $wp_version = ‘2.8.4’;
    theme is praggio..
 * if I use add_filter to add in the content, like you said, it will add something
   instead of modify/replace something. am i right ?
    Do I code the following way?
   the output should be dynamic..
 *     ```
       function add_before_content($content) {
       		$content = "<table class=\"link\">";
       		$content .= "";
       		$content .= "</table>";
              return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_content', add_before_content);
       ```
   
 * But I suppose I should not add something before the content, instead I should
   amend or replace the output..
 * Appreciate your kind advice…
 * sky
