Thanks for your question, Dav...@Dave van Ginhoven,<br /><br />Thanks for your question, Dave. As of today we don't see an easy way to implement a "read more" button to hide text and then reveal it.<br /><br />We did some experimentation in Blackboard with the tag (a way to collapse a paragraph of text and then toggle its display). However, the Text Box Editor in Blackboard seems to strip this tag from HTML input on submit.<br /><br />We have a question into Blackboard about how to prevent the removal of this tag, since it seems like the perfect solution to what you are trying to do. Here's more info about it for your general interest: http://goo.gl/aUbvO<br /><br />When we have followup from Blackboard on the issue we will post the answer here.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757493761809213807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11445702.post-68788129738514634532012-08-14T07:56:52.894-04:002012-08-14T07:56:52.894-04:00I have a question about t blogging in BB and can&#...I have a question about t blogging in BB and can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Any chance you can help?<br /><br />I use blogger for an essay writing course but my school has now upgraded to BB 9.1 and I want to try to use BB blogs for ease of access, but.... <br /><br />One of the things I like best about blogger is the jump break. I ask students to put a 'read more' button after their intro to get them to focus on snagging a reader's interest and making people want to click 'read more.' <br /><br />However, I can't figure out how to add such a break in the BB blogs. There doesn't seem to be a tool for it and I can't find any tips on this anywhere. I see that Blackboard has its own blogs which feature a 'continue reading' button, but can't find anything about how to do it. I would love it if you could point me in the right direction. <br /><br />If it can't be done I may have to stick with blogger.
