Finally, a question. In 2.5 beta I changed the way excerpts are generated from 2.4.x (and older) - words are no longer truncated, the cut is done based on spaces. I don't know if this is not convenient for CJK. Do you think there should be an option to disable this and cut just by number of characters as before? (some time ago I asked about this but no one objected, as it's fine for Latin, Cyrillic script)

I think it is better the way it is in beta, a cut in the middle of a world is not cool.

I have a request about it, I think I have already mentioned it before, but it may have been forgotten. I don't like when my words are cut in half, so current situation with beta is better. But I don't like my sentences being cut in the middle as well, so I would like an option to divide posts into two parts - an intro text (excerpt) and a full text (body). You could set a tag like <hr> (<hr /> for XHTML), maybe with a specific class, for NM to indicate the end of the excerpt. It's been working like this in K2 (a Joomla content component) great for years.

What do you think about it?

PS: Latest beta works great as well

Edit:// As zfz proposed, if you could not cut excerpts by a tag, cutting it at the nearest dot would be also good, though still not perfect.
