Adding "more..." to a text I have added on my home page

Permalink
There many sites which write a certain content but not the full version, then add "More..." and then if you click on it it lets you read the full text. Usually, "More..." is in blue. I am trying to put some text on my home page but it is too long. So I would like to add "More..." and then put the full text on another page for visitors to read if they want to see more.

How can I do this? Any advice is much appreciated.

Loader::Helper('text');
TextHelper::shortText($textStr, $numChars=255, $tail='More...')


where $textStr is the text :)
