Should have been very easy but somehow cannot get it to work. I want to display truncated text on my blog home page with a 'read more' link that shows up inline with the text i.e.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ac tortor et felis aliquet vestibulum sed in sem. Aliquam pharetra ultricies nunc, non pellentesque ... Read More

Since I use simple_format for my text, all breaks in the text get wrapped in

tags and I get Read More in a separate line as below

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ac tortor et felis aliquet vestibulum sed in sem. Aliquam pharetra ultricies nunc, non pellentesque ...

Read More

How do I place it inline after a < p > tag. Guess it's more of a CSS question rather than a Rails one. Again, I feel this should be super simple. What am I forgetting?

Here's the code snippet in the view

<%= simple_format truncate(h(feed.description), length: 400, separator: ' ') %><%= link_to "Read More", feed_path(feed)%>

I suspect that you can just put your link inside the simple_format content-parameter link this:

<%= simple_format truncate((h(feed.description) + link_to("Read More", feed_path(feed))), length: 400, separator: ' ') %>

(Note: not tested)
