WordPress Excerpt is an optional summary of your content.
The relationship between the Manual Excerpt, Automatic Excerpt, and Teaser is this: When a post has no manual excerpt and the post template uses the the_excerpt() tag, WordPress automatically generates an excerpt by selecting the first 55 words of the post followed by the unlinked ellipsis “[...]”. When the post template uses the the_content() tag, WordPress will look for the More tag and create a teaser from the content that precedes the More tag.
In WordPress, the_excerpt() template tag displays the excerpt of the current post with an un-linked ´[...]´ at the end. If you do not provide a manually written excerpt to a post, it will display an automatic excerpt which by default refers to the first 55 words of the post´s content. Also in the latter case, HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt´s content.
