Following up on Colin's explanation, the Format::more() function, which is used in my example, contains the support for the <!--more--> tag. If the post contains the tag, the post will be cut at it, rather than the number of words or paragraphs specified. I can't remember if it totally overrides the numbers, or would override them only if it occurs in the text before the counts are reached. Looking at the code, I rather think it totally overrides them.
In general, Habari encourages the use of tags that are contained in a comment rather than tags of the format [tag] because if the user ever switches to another blogging platform, the tag can remain in the post without interfering with anything since it is already an html comment. Tags in the form of [tag] have to be laboriously replaced if the new platform doesn't support them.
