<$mt:EntryExcerpt$>
Ouputs the value of the excerpt field of the current entry in context. If the excerpt field is empty, it will draw from the main text of the entry to generate an excerpt.
Attributes:
- no_generate (optional)
If the excerpt field is empty, this flag will prevent the generation of an excerpt using the main text of the entry.
- words (optional; default "40")
Controls the length of the auto-generated entry excerpt. Does not limit the content when the excerpt field contains content.
- convert_breaks (optional; default "0")
When set to '1', applies the text formatting filters on the excerpt content.

Thanks in advance.
