A lightweight jQuery plugin that collapses and expands long blocks of text with 'Read more' and 'Close' links. It works with existing HTML markup and is designed for responsive layouts.
Use cases
- truncate long articles with a read more link
- collapse and expand text blocks in jQuery
- add read more/less toggle to long content
- responsive text truncation plugin
- limit paragraph height with expand option
When to choose
- your site already uses jQuery (1.9.1+)
- you need simple, drop-in text collapsing with minimal markup
- you want configurable animation speed, collapsed height, and toggle links
When to avoid
- your project does not use jQuery
- you need a framework-native solution for React/Vue
- you want actively developed features - 2.x is deprecated and v3 is still in alpha
