Title:
"LJ Cut "Titles as Subtitles

Area:
entries

Summary:
Having the "title" language of cuts appear in the full text of the entry.

Description:
Multiple LJ cuts are sometimes used as subheadings within an entry, but when you click on the first cut, the whole entry appears and any/all subsequent cuts disappear.

If you want to keep the flow of the entry, you have to "repeat" the cut by copying the lj-cut text again as some kind of title or bold text.

Even for initial cuts, sometimes people use the text in the title to start off a thought that they continue in the actual entry itself, but that title again disappears.

If the lj-cut text could always appear within the document, it would make things much simpler and maintain the original flow and setup of the entry. I can't count the number of times I've had to go back to my reading list or the journal itself to reread the subsequent cuts and follow where the flow of thought changes (or go back and edit my own entries to have the cut title language show up twice--as a cut and as a subheading).

Sure, you can just have the cuts as the default "read more" and the title separate (which is what I did before I figured out the lj-cut title="title here"* format.

I'm not a coding person to know how difficult or easy such a change would be, but I know on communities where there are moderated entries (it's how we as mods catch when one's been forgotten), lj-cuts appear as blue titles within the document, so maybe something similar could happen on actual entries.

* P.S. What is the dreamwidth equivalent of coding "lj-cut"?
