  I want to add a feature in my post so that initially only a first 2-3 lines appear followed by a ‘Read More’ link. If the reader likes the first 2-3 lines then they should be able to expand the text to its full length by clicking on that ‘Read More’ link. Is there any such option available in WordPress?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi,

  Yes. See the Collapsible Content (accordion effect) section of the Advanced HTML support page for relevant instructions.

  Example 1 (code):

  I want to add a feature in my post so that initially (line 1 of text)...
   only the first 2-3 lines appear followed by a ‘Read More’ link. (line 2 of text)
  
  <details><summary>read more</summary>I want to add a feature in my post so that initially only the first 2-3 lines appear followed by a ‘Read More’ link.
