Currently ikiwiki's inline plugin will either show the full item or nothing of it. Or you can manually use the toggle plugin, <http://ikiwiki.info/plugins/toggle/>, for what you intend to do. Adding a new mode to the inline plugin to only show an ``appetizer'' ending with ``...'' after a customizable amount of characters (or lines) is on my TODO list. (One item for the Perl coders.) The ``...'' would then lead to either the full content being displayed or a link to the complete page. > But I just spotted a css error: > > The class "newsitemcontent" needs a min-height value, so that it is always at > least as high as the "newsitemheader" Ah, right! However, I solved this differently to what you suggested, using CSS' `clear' magic. See the git log for that change and a few other CSS improvements. By now I know more about CSS than I ever wanted. But still not enough: .newsitemcontent { /* TODO. Why is this needed to make the floating text appear on the same vertical height as is the item's title? */ margin-top: -10px; } Regards, Thomas
