Using the Words option in the Entry Tag

By vman on Jul 10, 2009 at 8:02 AM 1 Vote 0 Votes

I want to add the latest 4 entries on my home page but limit it to show the first 100 words of each entry.

It works fine but I notice that if there is any formatting done to any of the first 100 words, such as hyperlinking text or bolding text, that formatting won't show up. The words still show up but without the formatting.

If I don't use any words limitation, then the formatting will appear.

Does anyone know a work around for this? I am using the FCK editor for creating pages and entries.

Thanks,

V

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
