Plugins
Most current version is 1.2.2
- Truncates HTML/Text after the specified number of characters.
- Does not count characters in HTML-tags.
- Does not cut-off in the middle of tags.
- Closes all open tags.
So if you limit the following text to 80 chars…
<p class="quote"><b>Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.<br />
<em>Isaac Asimov</em></b></p>
the result will be ...
<p class="quote"><b>Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.<br />
<em>Isaac</em></b></p>
instead of ...
<p class="quote"><b>Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's
... which would probably screw the rest of the page.
Example:
{exp:trunchtml chars="300" ending="<a href='{path=site/comments}'>read on</a>"}
{body}
{/exp:trunchtml}
Parameters:
chars="100"
Defaults to 500. Number of characters that are to be returned.
ending="..."
Optional. String to be added after the output.
inline="..."
Optional. This string is placed directly after the truncated text and before any closing tags. If you want the first character to be a space, use an underscore
e.g. inline="_continue”
exact="yes"
If this is set, text will be truncated after exactly the specified number of chars. Otherwise text will be cut after a space to prevent cutting words in the middle.

@ Edward:
In version 1.2.2 the leading space before the inline-text is removed.
If you want a leading space on first position in the inline-text use an underscore instead, e. g. inline="_foo".

Thank you! Works much better for me than the other limiters. Some question-marks about the performance of inline and ending but for now it is not important, my page look good and validates in strict mode. Cheers!

I’m using 1.2.1 and it works really well except for one thing: I have an ellipsis (...) being displayed using that new “inline” parameter but it always adds a space before it. Thus, sometimes the line will break right _before_ the ellipsis and it’ll end up on a line by itself. Hope a future version will fix.
Many thanks!

I am impressed with the plugin but find that I cannot use it as a replacement for Word Limiter Plus because there is a line-break placed before the ending bit, whereas I need it to appear on the same line as the preceding text. I tried using “inline” for my “read on...” link but then it is affected by the formatting of the preceding text. Given that a line-break can be scripted into the ending bit I think the default should be no line-break, or there should be a parameter available for this.
Please let me know if and once this functionality is made available!
Also useful would be if_exceeds functionality a la Word Limiter Plus.

I had a lot of spaces after the text i wanted truncated which was a reason why it was adding “...” even though it was well under 60 characters.
Still having the issue wtih some text though
{exp:trunchtml chars="60" inline="..."}{title} lots of spaces here {/exp:trunchtml}
This is 35 characters long or so, but still having “...” added. Again, very random,
“Transformers Custom Protoform Starscream ...”
