Minimize long paragraphs and make expandable with “more” and “less” links. Either collapse to a length or a selector.

Usage ↑

To collapse to a length:

$(".bio").readmoreless();

$(".bio").readmoreless({
  substr: true,
  substr_len: 500,
  ellipses: '…',
  more_link: '<a class="more">Read&nbsp;More</a>',
  less_link: '<a class="less">Read&nbsp;Less</a>'
});

To collapse to a selector:

$(".bio").readmoreless({
  substr: false
});

$(".bio").readmoreless({
  substr: false,
  less_selector: ":first",
  ellipses: '&#8230;',
  more_link: '<a class="more">Read&nbsp;More</a>',
  less_link: '<a class="less">Read&nbsp;Less</a>'
})
