[Imc-drupal-dev] Node Teaser or Excerpt?

[eric]

i'm using tinymce at big muddy. it has some problems. the break does work 
you may want to play around with adding other options such as rich text, 
which we did. don't initiate tinymce in admin or setup a special user that 
doesn't have tinymce mode as i found it helpful to be able to edit the text 
afterward.  the problem with tinymce is that users having that option cannot 
see the coding but only the text and that makes it difficult when revising 
material. it really is a pain not knowing the actual html. i haven't tried 
adding a plain text option to tinymce so that may be the answer. not sure if 
its possible. if you do that, let me know.
best
eric
