... show only the excerpt in Atom or RSS feeds without having excerpt?
Maybe using rss_auto_excerpt? But how?
I have a long text articles, but I just want to show only the first paragraph, or only 300 words. But in Admin Panel, I can select to show only Excerpt or not. Maybe there should be an option like this: Show ONLY excerpt, Show _____ words, Show _____ letters. Where in the blank space you could write the numbers.
But, actually, is there a way to do what I want?
Sorry, bad English, I know, but have you understand me? I hope so.
Thanks in advance!

Re: ... show only the excerpt in Atom or RSS feeds without having excerpt?
I would check out Customizing your RSS feed and then use something like rss_auto_excerpt to generate an excerpt for your long articles. The tutorial for customizing your feed is good and pretty straightforward.
Simpler but less automatic would be to just copy the first para into the Excerpt field.
