Hi  
I have a product, in each product there is a description that explains the product, there is a description that is too long to display, is there a way to shorten the description, such as when the user wants to see the entire product description, the user can simply click MORE?

You could probably adapt Bob’s tip from here.

Just to add a little to @Eric_Penn’s suggestion, you could make use of the [Truncate Text](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/truncate) plugin to create a standard length string to use for the `<summary>` part.
