the_content() and more link

[James Davis-6]

I'm currently using the following code in a theme.

<?php the_content('Continue reading "'. the_title("","",false).'"'); ?>

It outputs something like

blah blah blah content blah blah blah
<p><a href="linktomore">Continue reading</a></p>

Is there a way to avoid these paragraph tags and instead output
something similar to

blah blah blah content blah blah blah
<a href="linktomore">Continue reading</a>

Thanks,

James

Perhaps I'm being silly but that doesn't appear to work because
the_content prints output and doesn't return it where it could be used
as an input to $text.

Yeah, the_content() echoes and doesn't return.

You would want apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ).

That is true, of course.

This will instead output (return) the content, just grabbed the code
from my CompleteRSS plugin:

<?php

function NST_get_the_content()
{
    global $post;
    // Password checking copied from get_the_content()
    if ( !empty( $post->post_password ) )
        if ( stripslashes( $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_'.COOKIEHASH] ) !=
$post->post_password )
        return get_the_password_form();
    return $post->post_content;
}

function NST_return_content()
{
    $content = NST_get_the_content();
    $content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content );

    $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
    return $content;
}

?>
