"Excerpt" option in Redactor? I love using the excerpt option in Wygwam (CKEditor). I've looked high and low but as of yet, have been unable to find a way to have an exceprt show short of having a whole second field. I have seen a custom Twig filter running around that would allow to show first paragraph (which I could modify to show whatever) but I like the ease of doing it straight in the WYSIWYG. Anyone have any options? (looking for a solution for a news roll page)

You could use the Redactor's pagebreak plugin. Check out the docs.

If activated in your Redactor config, you will have the option to insert page breaks to your content, via a new “Insert Page Break” toolbar button.

Now you can get the first "page" in your template:

{% for entry in craft.entries.section('blog') %}
    &lt;article&gt;
        &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href="{{ entry.url }}"&gt;{{ entry.title }}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

        {{ entry.richTextFieldHandle.getPage(1) }}

        {% if entry.richTextFieldHandle.getTotalPages() &gt; 1 %}
            &lt;a href="{{ entry.url }}"&gt;Continue reading…&lt;/a&gt;
        {% endif %}
    &lt;/article&gt;
{% endfor %}
