showmore in a template?

I’m very happy with your plugin – exactly what I need. But I have one question.

I use a custom template for one custom post type and I use the_content() to display the text.

I always need there your shortcodes. Can I add the [showmore] – [/showmore] directly in the template? Because now I always must write the [showmore] in every post beside the [more] shortcode.

Another question is:
Can you add the functionality, that I can give as an option the opening [more] a custom linktext and the plugin automaticly generates the link to show more text?

example: [more link=”read more because its nice …”]

That feature will extremly pimp your very cool plugin! ??
