Articles consisting of a teaser only have a "Read more" link

Description

Hi,

articles with teasers only are automatically providing a Read more link. When I click on the Read more link I see a pagfe with Return link.

Example: In the demo I added another article and defined both to display their teasers. While the demo article contains content, the added article only consists of the teaser and shouldn't have a Read on link. Thus I'd say the <?php if ($this->teaserOnly): ?> isn't working (properly).

By the way - I think it would be useful to be able to select a headline level for the teaser in the backend.

Why would you add a teaser and enable the "show teaser" checkbox option if you don't want a readmore link? You could simply add that content to the article content instead?

Okay, then I'll have to teach my folks to not use article teasers for very short articles. I guess I misinterpreted the line <?php if ($this->teaserOnly): ?>?

There are some sports clubs among my customers who are also using news teasers for short one-line-infos, where there's really no need to have a link to a separate page repeating this same short line of text, not even for SEO. Thus we always changed
<?php if ($this->hasText || $this->hasTeaser): ?>
to
<?php if ($this->hasText): ?>
Years ago I opted for a possibility to detemine whether a user wants a "Read more" link or not, but although I know we're not the only ones handling news teasers this way, regretfully our suggestion didn't find developers' approval.
