Thanks, ikegami, for your reply. I really appreciate it.

For reasons I'm not entirely sure of, the <readmore> text in my "preview" does not show any signs of "different" formatting (e.g., grey background). Hence, for example in my post to SoPW where I forgot the post-tag </readmore>, there was nothing that gave me any clue in the "preview" that I'd made that mistake. All the text looks the same whether I have <readmore> tags or not.

When I inquired Is there a way to have "preview" do a real preview? I was simply meaning that it would be nice if the "preview" showed exactly what would appear in the post...e.g, <readmore> tags would be collapsed, exacly like it would appear in the final, created, post.

Unfortunately, of course, I think it would probably be too complex and cumbersome to be able to click on the collapsed <readmore> and get it to expand like it does in the posted version.

So I guess the way it works today is probably the best solution. The only other thing I can think of would be some sort of "preview" choice that would either "show" or "not show" the collapsed version of what one wrote. That would be, IMHO, a lot of extra extra work and complexity that just isn't really worth it.

Having the text in the <readmore> look "different" (e.g, different color or whatever) between the <readmore> tags as it is implemented today and as ikegami suggested in his response, is probably the best solution.

Now if I could just get my "preview" to show such text as "different". Thanks, again, ikegami.
