    How do I do this?
    In other words I’d like to display an excerpt of, say, the body field and continue it with a permalink link to a single entry page.

    I’ve been unable to find this in the docs or via a cursory search on “excerpt”

    Can someone advise me where to learn more and perhaps see some example code?

    thanks,
    Cortni

    There are a couple of options (plugins):

    - Word Limit
    - Char Limit
    - Word Limit Plus
    - TruncHTML
    - Eexcerpt
