    How to limit the output lenght?

    Hello...

    The following line, displays all my text in my blogposts.

    <xsl:value-of select="$post/bodyText" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

    What i want is to display only, etc. 50 words, so that my frontpage look clean.

    But how do i do that, whitout destroying th html?

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString($post/bodyText, number(50), '...')" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

    but it's a number of characters.

    What about to the nearest word?

    For example, using the string:
    "This is a string longer than 35 characters."
    Limited to 35 characters, it would normally be:
    "This is a string longer than 35 cha..." 

    Can I have it 'snap' to the nearest word? So instead it would output:
    "This is a string longer than 35..."

    Hi Jon,

    I don't know if you have found a solution for your question.

    But if you don´t have the Ucomponents package, can maybe do what you ask for.

    In the Ucomponents package there is a extension method named strings, with this XSLT extension you should be able to break a string by
    nearest word, as I read the documentation.

    I must say, that I don´t have used this XSLT extension myself, but I think it can helps you out here.

    The Ucomponents package: http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/releases/view/100480 and the documentation for the string
    extension method: http://ucomponents.org/xslt-extensions/strings

    I hope this can help you to solve your question.

    /Dennis

    Hi Jon,

    Could you use my inputs to find a solution, for 'snap' to the nearest word?
