I'm not sure why the code for frontpage truncation by word was written to condense all the paragraphs of the top text. In my opinion it makes the truncate by word option under settings >> layout unusable. (Also messes up the Facebook share system post.)
The <p> and <br> options are also less than ideal too. We have over 100 bloggers on our site and there is no way to train all of them to make sure all they only use one method of making paragraphs. Most write off line and paste into the editor.
My suggested solution would be to include use word count, that way blog intros have similar visual weight, but leave the <p> or <brr> formatting in place. Alternatively when the option is set to count paragraphs, have an one option that counts either a <p> or a <br><br> combo as a paragraph.
Maybe others can lend their input on how best to make truncation consistent on a wide variety of conditions.
