FAQ75, lj-cut text= vs. lj-cut

Jun 07, 2006 14:03

User in this request appeared to interpret the lj-cut section of FAQ 75 as stating you should use both variants of the opening tag (with and without the text= attribute).

Suggested wording change:By default, the link will say "( Read more... )", but if you want it to say something else such as "( Cut off here )", you can write the markup tag as ( Read more... )

I'm not sure that one user misunderstanding is really a reason to change the FAQs, but if it is, I would suggest a slightly lower diction. Your sentence reads like it was written for someone that already knows what you're talking about.

Agree that it's probably not necessary to edit the FAQ for this, though we do see it every once in a while.

At most, I'd say just change the 'you can write the markup tag as follows:' text before the second example to say something like 'you can use this markup tag instead:' -- the 'instead' implies that this should replace the other thing.
