You could split this into view logic; however, a better options is
probably to add a method to your model. Django templates can call any
method on an object that takes no arguments, so a simple 'is_long'
method on the object could be used to determine if any given object
has more that 75 words.
For example:
class Article(Model):
... (fields) ...
def is_long(self):
return ...(logic for a long article)...
Then in your template, if object_list is a list of articles:
{% for object in object_list %}
{{ object.body }}
{% if object.is_long %}
... link to 'read more'
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
