+Read More Feature for Note Fields
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A new setting will allow Evergreen sites to truncate the display of long note
+fields in the public catalog. When truncated, a _Read More..._ link will
+appear at the end of the field, allowing the user to click to view the entire
+field contents.
+
+This feature is turned off by default. To enable it:
+
+  * Enable the ctx.want_jquery setting in the config.tt2 file.
+  * Enable the truncate_contents setting in the config.tt2 file.
+  * In config.tt2, adjust the contents_truncate_length setting to set the
+number of characters that should display before the field is truncated (default
+is 100).
+
+Browsers with javascript disabled will continue to see the full contents of
+these fields.
+
