NexT removes auto excerpt in v7.6.0. None of the existing plugins is as good as the original one. This repo aims to bring back the original NexT excerpt. It is modified from ashisherc/hexo-auto-excerpt.

npm install --save hexo-plain-excerpt

excerpt_length: 350 (number of characters, default to 150).

Here are the differences of this fork from the original repo.

• Update html-to-text to the latest version.
• Replace the default item prefix (*) with a space.
• Do nothing if excerpt already exists.
• Add ... at the end.
