Re: How Do I use Excerpt on my page?
In your default form, replace <txp:body/> with:
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:excerpt/>
<txp:else/>
<txp:body/>
</txp:if_article_list>Be sure to bookmark the tag reference.

rss_auto_excerpt is what you need. It’s abandoned but still functional.

Use if_first_article:
<txp:if_first_article>
<txp:body/>
<txp:else/>
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt.../>
</txp:if_first_article>Offline
