How do I hide part of my entry behind a link? What is a lj-cut?
A <lj-cut> allows you to hide all or part of your entry behind a link. The part you <lj-cut> is hidden on your journal and on Friends pages, but you can still see the full entry on the "Read Comments" page, the Preview Entry button, and the view entry link on the Update Journal confirmation page.
- Rich Text editor: Highlight the text you want to cut, then press the <lj-cut> button (
). In the dialog, you can type the word or phrase to link to the entry. - Plain Text editor: Type <lj-cut text="Read more"> before the text you want to cut, replacing "Read more" with the word or phrase to link to the entire entry. If you want to start showing text again, type </lj-cut> after the text you want to cut.
- Downloadable Client: Many clients available for download contain simple ways to use the <lj-cut> tag. For information on a specific client, consult its documentation or menu options.
Other Options
- LiveJournal-specific tags: <lj user> <lj-raw> <lj-poll>
