Question about [+link+] in Ditto

Hi guys, have a question! First this is what I want:

I want to have two [+link+] in my ditto pointing to the same place, meaning that if you click on any of them you will go to the article. My issue is that the ditto call won’t take more then one &truncText=`Read more`, if I add another &truncText with a different string in it, won’t show it. This is my code:

[!Ditto? 
&parents=`2`
&paginate=`1` 
&paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`0`
&extenders=`summary` 
&tpl=`tplBlog` 
&orderBy=`createdon ASC` 
&display=`2` 
&truncText=`Read more...` 
&dateFormat=`%b. %d, %Y`!]

and

<h2><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a></h2>
<p>[+date+]</p>
<p>[+summary+]</p>
<p>[+link+]</p>

Any work around? Thanks undecided

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Only one &truncText=`Read more` is supported per ditto call.

You can do something like this:

<h2><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a></h2>
<p>[+date+]</p>
<p>[+summary+]</p>
<p>[+link+]</p>
<p><a href="[~[+id+]~]">Any other string text</a></p>
