You can do whichever you like. :) There are a couple excerpt-related plugins available.

Something like this? (It’s not a perfect solution because you have to type txp tags in the articles.)
Or else you can turn off Textile for the excerpt, so it won’t be wrapped in <p> tags.

yes, but seems that this is the only way to get what I want. colak solution still displays “read on” in new line

<p>tags.
turn off, how?
I installed rss_auto_excerpt plugin for testing, but I can’t find example how to use it…

You can either on a per article basis (in the ‘Write’ screen, under Advanced options) change ‘Excerpt markup’ from ‘use Textile’ to one of the two other options, or use Mary’s plugin upm_textile_toggle with which you can turn off Textile for all excerpts.

I’m sorry, I don’t know this plugin. You’d better ask in the plugin thread.
