WordPress post excerpt section-wise (e.g., paragraphs, sentences, or words)

If you want to limit the WordPress post excerpt section-wise, you can divide it into specific sections (e.g., paragraphs, sentences, or words) and then display only a particular section or a limited number of sections.

Here's how you can achieve this:

Example 1: Limit Excerpt by Paragraphs

Example 2: Limit Excerpt by Sentences

Example 3: Limit Excerpt by Words

Explanation:

1. Paragraphs (explode("\n")): Splits the excerpt by new lines.
2. Sentences (preg_split): Uses a regular expression to split the excerpt into sentences based on punctuation.
3. Words (explode(' ')): Breaks the excerpt into individual words.

Use Case:

1. Use the paragraph-based approach for content with clear paragraph divisions.
2. Use the sentence-based approach for summaries or descriptive excerpts.
3. Use the word-based approach when you need precise control over the word count.

You can choose the method depending on how you want to display or limit the excerpt.
