Add support for only displaying an excerpt of the post.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to have a per-subscriber option of removing URLs and only
displaying the first N characters from each article.  Readers would have to
click through to the blog to read the complete article, get the links, etc.

This could be handled via the requested regex support.  I'd like to keep it
more simple than that.

I'm currently working on this functionality (for planetscm.org), and can
submit the code changes if anyone is interested.

Sorry, this is clearly an enhancement.  I don't know how to change it.

+1  I'd love to see this, but it would be nice if it broke on word boundaries, 
or
even sentence boundaries.
