(integer) Number of words to display before ending the excerpt. Can be any numeric value up to the default.
$encode_html 
(integer) Defines html tag filtering and special character (e.g. '&') encoding. Options are:
  • 0 - (Default) Parses out links for numbered "url footnotes".
  • 1 - Filters through the PHP function htmlspecialchars(), but also sets cut to 0, so is not recommended when using the cut parameter.
