Hmm, this is a difficult one.. I always get a bit stuck with what to do around excerpts, especially when considering responsiveness. A lot of the events have such a short description, that it feels like having to add an excerpt on top is even more to manage. However, truncating the sentence mid-word is not a great user experience. I feel less uncomfortable if half the sentence is cut off but truncating mid-sentence is also not great and can be confusing.

I think the two options are:
- Excerpts with a character limit, or
- the excerpt is created using the first sentence of the description (up until the first punctuation mark). Which will require some rules for those uploading to follow.

Both put a bit more effort on the content creator/uploader. My feeling is excerpt is the best. Robyn Xoliswa what you think?

I see what you mean Laura Robyn  , I can see how I can use the excerpt, that first option I believe it will be best.

Hello Robyn ,

I have made the update as Laura suggested, we are using the summary/excerpt. If there is no summary added then the default functionality is cutting off the text from the body and adding ... at the end, we will need to advise for client to add summary at all times to display the text correctly.
