Category Index showing

On the catgegory index pages I want to show part of the $article.content$ say 100 characters and then ( Read More). I don't want to have to create a separate $article.summary$ for each article.
Can I do this somehow?
Thanks

Hi again!
Thanks for posting!
What you'll be able to do here is use the placeholder modifier that tells Article Manager to only return a certain number of words. That would look like this:
$article.summary:maxWords(16)$
Keep in mind that this isn't a character count. It's done based on the number of words so you may need to play around with it a bit.
Also, remember to republish your articles so that your changes take effect. Of course, let me know how you make out  .
