Topic: Inserting Article Intro

I'm in new to PHP and monstra, but I can see the potential this CMS has. The awesome part is it's simplicity. Is it possible to insert a {block get="slugname"} but only provide 3 sentences or intro sentences from the article with it's title?

Also, I'm tried using these tags:

1. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>
2. <?php echo Page::url(); ?>
3. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>

I didn't see any changes when I applied these to the template.
Any help on any of these question would be great. Thanks so much.

Re: Inserting Article Intro

My First question: Is it possible to insert a block but only have the first 3 lines of text with the title.

Example:

MY TITLE OF BLOCK
Some text of a story goes here blah blah. The fox
jumps over the lazy dog blah.  read more>

OTHER BLOCK TITLE
Some text of a story goes here blah blah. The fox
jumps over the lazy dog blah.  read more>


Second question:

How to make these work:

1. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>
2. <?php echo Page::url(); ?>
3. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>

You think article with short description, full post and "Read More" button?
