## Description

Excerpt Editor provides a convenient place for creating and editing all excerpts.
It can also add custom excerpts for pages (not possible without a plugin). Features:
auto-creating excerpts when publishing new Posts and Pages, displaying customisable
excerpts from the content for posts without an excerpt, appending excerpts from 
the latest posts to each Post or from the sub-pages to each Page, replacing the 
content for all archive and tags pages with excerpts (eliminates content duplication
for SEO).

The excerpts can be used in the RSS feed, displayed on the Home or Archive pages
and/or used for meta descriptions. The excerpts can be in any language supported
by WordPress and the plugin contains .pot file to facilitate translations.
