Is it possible to make a link from excerpt?

    Hello!

    I’d want to achieve such layout in archive.php page:

    <h2><a href=post_permalink>Post title</a></h2>
<p><a href=post_permalink>Post excerpt ... tincidunt litterarum diam feugiat in ipsum</a></p>

    Is it possible at all? I’ve searched the forum and the web but haven’t found any solution on how to display entire excerpt as a link.

    Thanks in advance.

    The excerpt already adds <p> tags i think, so why not just do…

    <a href="yourlink"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>

    Unfortunately, XHTML doesn’t allow <p> inside <a>.

    Then you’ll need to re-write the excerpt filter via a function in your theme/ else edit a core file to change the tags generated.

    Was aware it’s not XHTML, but wasn’t sure if that matters…

    I did more thorough search and found this topic:

    It works right in the template and doesn’t require any mods.

    Thanks for your reply.
