Hello everyone,

I wish to be able to add a “show more” button in the description of my collection page on Dawn theme (for SEO purpose).

I have see a shopify store using dawn theme doing it well. I’m asking how they achieve that ?

Example of the website doing it well : https://laboutiquedelaceinture.fr/collections/ceinture-homme

Important : I want to be able to choose the location in the text where the “show more” button begin, and not from a certain number of words or a certain text size…

Many thanks !

Timo
