Re: First example of the showmore plugin

Instead of hardcoding the <!---more--->, I would instead make it user
configurable (in the config dict) and remove it from the text when they
view the full version.

For the linking to an entry issue, the cheesy thing to do would be to
count the number of entries in the file_list in the cb_prepare callback.
If the number is one, then it's likely they're looking at one entry.  If
you combine that with some other information--maybe from the data dict
(like the path_info or something)--that might be better.

I can get you code if you need it.  But given my current track record,
it'll take me a month and a half to do so.  ;)
