Functions:truncate

From Dwoo Docs

Truncates a string at the given length

truncate(string $value, [ int $length = 80, [ string $etc = '...', [ bool $break = false, [ bool $middle = false ]]]])

• value : text to truncate
• length : the maximum length for the string
• etc : the characters that are added to show that the string was cut off
• break : if true, the string will be cut off at the exact length, instead of cutting at the nearest space
• middle : if true, the string will contain the beginning and the end, and the extra characters will be removed from the middle

Example:

{truncate "this text is really too long, or let's just pretend it is will you?" 30 middle=true}
{strlen truncate("this text is really too long, or let's just pretend it is will you?" 30 middle=true)} {* here we check its length to verify it's 30 chars alright *}

Output:

this text is r... is will you?
30
