I just want to show the excerpt on my main page, I tried the ways addressed in this post, but it just doesn't work? Is there any of you building your blog with MT and only show excerpts on your main page? How did you do that? Could you share the tips with us?
Reported on Movable Type 4.3
Excerpt is just an unformatted text field. If that's not what you mean by "excerpt," roll your own.
To show only the beginning of a post, use
<$mt:EntryBody words="50"$>...
or whatever value you like.
The Movable Type Template Tags can be strung together in logical ways to display what you want.
Hi Baiyan,
I've read that you've tried the solution I've provided at:
http://forums.movabletype.org/2009/04/how-do-a-format-excerpts.html
With the words parameter!
Can you please provide me a direct link to your blog to study what's wrong in there?
Maybe you don't have any specific formatting...
Cheers,
Mihai

Thanks for your help！
Hi Baiyan,
As your project is in Chinese I was unable to understand something or get an idea about what's wrong.
You may like to further explain what you're tying to get...
If you will use the "words" parameter what formatting should be included and it is not (can you list some tags)?
Cheers,
Mihai
Thanks Baiyan, I followed your instruction and even my problem which was somewhat similar was solved!!
Thanks again :D
You're welcome John ;)

Hi Baiyan,
That coding you've pasted here is good!
What is the result that you are expecting?
Are there specific tags that you wanted to be included, but are not? Which ones?
Cheers,
Mihai

Mihai,
I expect to show excerpt(part of the post) for each post on my main page, with format! Use the code you suggested:
But the result is there are no format of the excerpt, just plain text group together on the main page.
What do you mean by specific tags? I am not intended to add other tags, I just hope it could work to show excerpt with format.
If the code is good? is there any other places that might impact?
Thanks for you continous help!
