Using DPL would be better. DPL has all the LST functionality and more, except the ability to transclude from the same page or do an exclusion. One of the additions is that ability to have the read more link and limit by character and still be able to use the sections.

Hi All,
I want to display first para of an article on my home page box-featured article. Can I set some parameter like no. of characters or so, such that I can translude, say 100 chars from an article on the home page and then provide a "read more..." link?
Hi Jack,
You might find this extension useful: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion
I haven't used it myself so I can't vouch for it, but it's used on Wikisource.
cheers, Brianna
