KAutoReadMore
Introduction
On category blog and featured views, Joomla only shows a "Read more" button when the author manually inserted a split. If they forgot, the full article text is printed in the list. KAutoReadMore fixes this automatically: when an article has no manual split and its intro text exceeds a configurable limit, it is truncated safely — never cutting a word or an HTML tag in half — and a "Read more" button is added using Joomla's own native layout, so it looks identical to a manual split, including template overrides.
If an article already has a manual split, the plugin leaves it alone: no duplicate buttons.
