I'm looking for a way to shorten long entries to a line or so (maybe even just a title) until a user actually clicks on it to display the entry on its own page. Can anyone point me to a plug-in, or a search term to find it (I couldn't think of one that worked)?
Thanks.

Re: Long entry question
Hi!
Actually this is why Serendipity offers the "Entry Body" and "Extended Entry" for creation. Only the Entry Body is shown on the page, and the extended entry is shown on the detailed page.
That is much better than truncating a text after X characters, and maybe truncating it in the middle. So instead you have the control where to put introductory text.
Best regards,
Garvin
