I want to make an index page or blog posts and display the most recent articles as a list, with title, author, date, and also the first paragraph. The way it is done at the Bakery: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles
I've looked at Text Helper functions excerpt() and truncate() but neither seems able to do it. If we use truncate for example and publish the first 100 characters this will either cut the paragraph short or publish part of the second paragraph. Is the best solution to add an extra column in the posts database table called 'intro' where the author can put the paragraph or other intro text to the article?
