how to turn off excerpts?

i would be grateful for any suggestions re the following : i would like to publish one post per page and to publish the entire post, not an excerpt. however there seems to be no way to turn off excerpts and when i set the excerpt length to say 500 all my paragraph breaks disappear.

thanks!

Hey none.
You can set the Read more button at the end of the post or modify the index.hbs file as follow:
Go to the follwing location: ‎⁨(Documents ▸ ⁨Publii⁩ ▸ ⁨sites⁩ ▸ ⁨YOUR_SITE ▸ ⁨input⁩ ▸ ⁨themes⁩ ▸ ⁨YOUR_THEME) and edit the index.hbs file:

Replace the following code snippet:
```
 {{#if hasCustomExcerpt}}
     {{{ excerpt }}}
 {{else}}
     <p>{{{ excerpt }}}</p>
{{/if}}
```
with:
```
 {{#if hasCustomExcerpt}}
     {{{ excerpt }}}
{{else}}
    {{{ text }}}
{{/if}}
```
PS: To preserve your custom code and prevent it being overwritten the next time the theme is updated, please ensure that you have created override files; these are, essentially, copies of the existing theme files that are stored separately from the main theme files → https://getpublii.com/dev/theme-overrides/
