excerpt

excerpt is a string variable containing the excerpt of the article. This is empty if the post has no excerpt.

It can also be used as a boolean variable; it is true if it contains a value.

The excerpt of an article is what the author enters into the Excerpt text area in the Post Article or Edit Article page.

Example

This puts the excerpt of the article inside a green box:

<table>

<tr><td bgcolor="#BFD7BF">

</td></tr>
