    Reading More

Step 1

Add this block of code inside your page's <head> tag, preferably right under the <link> to your stylesheet:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jedfoster/Readmore.js/master/readmore.js"></script>
Step 2

Find a <div>, <p>, or other tag you want to make collapsible. Give it the class of "readmore".
Step 3

Place this block of code on a line just before </body>:
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(".readmore").readmore();
</script>
You're done.

Setting some options

Replace the last bit with something like this. Each extra line is optional and the value can be changed to whatever you like.
$(".readmore").readmore({
  speed: 75, // how fast to animate
  maxHeight: 500 // how much to show, in pixels, before the link to read more
});
All the possible options:
THE OPTIONS:
speed: 100, // (in milliseconds)
maxHeight: 200, // (in pixels)
heightMargin: 16, // (in pixels, avoids collapsing blocks that are only slightly larger than maxHeight)
moreLink: '<a href="#">Read more</a>', // (raw HTML)
lessLink: '<a href="#">Close</a>', // (raw HTML)
embedCSS: true, // (insert required CSS dynamically, set this to false if you include the necessary CSS in a stylesheet)
sectionCSS: 'display: block; width: 100%;', // (sets the styling of the blocks)
startOpen: false, // (do not immediately truncate, start in the fully opened position)
expandedClass: 'readmore-js-expanded', // (class added to expanded blocks)
collapsedClass: 'readmore-js-collapsed', // (class added to collapsed blocks)
beforeToggle: function() {}, // (called after a more or less link is clicked, but before the block is collapsed or expanded)
afterToggle: function() {} // (called after the block is collapsed or expanded)
