 * Hey sibichan
 * what you are referring to is in the file:
 * UnderStrap Theme Parent Folder -> loop-templates -> content.php (line 37)
 * and is handled by the function the_excerpt():
 * [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/)
 * you will need to add your own custom function/filter to fix what you want to 
   do without CSS
 * hope that helps!
