Can excerpts not be wrapped with

lozmatic · 2007-03-25 16:21:53

I want to include the excerpt in a list of articles, using CSS to make the font smaller.

However, the output is always wrapped in the tags.

Can this be avoided in any way?

Turn off textile for the excerpt. Then create a custom form containing the excerpt and other stuff marked up to suit your needs. eg…

<p class="excerpt>
  <txp:excerpt/>
</p>

or you can leave textile on, and use a wrapping div like…

<div class="excerpt">
  <txp:excerpt/>
</div>

then style like .excerpt p{font-size:9px}

Thanks for the prompt answer :)

I’ve actually got ‘Leave text untouched’ for the excerpt and this for in a custom form:

<txp:excerpt />

But I still get:

Introduction.

How odd.

Did you try “convert linebreaks?” Alternatively leave textile on and start the excerpt with a space.

If you make changes in whether or not to use Textile, you have to re-save the articles, to overwrite the previously saved html.
