      <span>+</span>
    </div>

    <div class="news-full-story">
      <?php echo $project->richtext()->kirbytext() ?>
    </div>

I’d go for a custom function, like outputting only the first paragraph or whatever you prefer; here is an example:

<?php 
   function getFirstPara($string){
        $string = substr($string,0, strpos($string, "</p>")+4);
        return $string;
    } 
?>
