+## Modifying [[plugins/inline]] for showing only an *appetizer*
+
+Currently ikiwiki's inline plugin will either show the full page or nothing of
+it.  Often that's too much.  One can manually use the [[plugins/toggle]] plugin
+-- see the *News* section on <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/>.  Adding a new
+mode to the inline plugin to only show an *appetizer* ending with *... (read
+on)* after a customizable amount of characters (or lines) would be a another
+possibility.  The *... (read on)* would then either toggle the full content
+being displayed or link to the complete page.
