This must be totally obvious but I haven't found the answer.

I want to have some pages that don't get trimmed, but I do want to keep the trimming configuration intact for other pages. For example, how was the Drupal main support page created? I want to do something like that.

Thanks!

I think the Drupal main support page is just manually entered HTML, using either a table or <div> and CSS to get the columns to work properly.

If you put <!--break--> into your page, that will control where the teaser is broken off. You can also get complete control over your teaser by using the Excerpt module.

Thanks Merlin. I tried out Excerpt and it does give a lot of control over the teaser, but I still end up with a "read more" link at the bottom no matter what I do.

What I probably need is to pursure the manually entered HTML option. I'm not sure how I do this and retain the drupality of the page. For example, the drupal support page seems to have mixed content -- the static stuff on the left, and drupal navigation and latest forum topic blocks on the right. Plus the theming is intact.

I guess the only way I know how to build a page in drupal is to enter the html as a page or story.

If you put <!--break--> at the end of a post the full post will be shown and (perhaps depending on the theme) the read more link will not show.

Thanks. Inserting <!--break--> at the end caused the "read more" to go away. I had to disable the Excerpt module for this to work.
