+Hey,
+
+I'm porting my blog from Jekyll to Ikiwiki and I'm using the default template of Ikiwiki.
+
+As some of my posts are very long it looks weird on main page at the text overflows the box. Also I don't want to show complete blog post on the main page. So, is there a method to truncate  blog posts.
+
+If I'm not clear to you, I want ikiwiki version of [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/11044301).
