>> Note: instead of backslash, use double slashes to escape characters:

>> Use *in=timestamp* to format a unix timestamp value.

### Read more

> **more** - set *true* to display content up to the &lt;!--more--&gt; tag, or an excerpt if the tag doesn't exist. This will add the text "Read More" at the end, with a link to the post. To change the text, use: *more=...*
