Hi,
when I use $Content.Summary(20) it always shows me the first paragraph, however long it is. When I have deleted this method from HTMLText, then is used Text->Summary(20) and it does what I expect.

BTW. Why HTMLText is overloading only the Summary method, and not other ones like FirstSentence, FirstParagraph, BigSummary, ... ?

OK, I see HTMLText->Summary preserver HTML tags. So, here's my path:

Now, it seems to work well. Anyway, it would be nice to have other similar text manipulation methods from Text class also in HTMLText class.

Hmm, but if there's a picture in the first paragraph, like

<p><img ...></img></p>

then it shows only that picture. I am going to use the Text::Summary method.
