    Oh why oh why can I not get newslisting to just list the entire content of page instead of a truncated version? Seems the default should do this...

      I call it like this to get the latest full article for my home page (NewsListing version 6.5):

      [!NewsListing?startID=`1`&summarize=`1`&trunc=`0`&tpl=`ArticleTpl`&archivetext=`More Articles`&dateformat=`%e %B %Y`!]

          &trunc=`0` is the important bit there. It tells NewsListing not to truncate the summary or content fields.
