TruncHTML Documentation
Installation:
Unzip the archive and copy the file pi.trunchtml.php into the plugins-directory inside your Expression Engine system-directory.
Usage example:
Wrap any text/html you want to be truncated inside an {exp:trunchtml}-tag-pair.
{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.
threshold="X"
If this is set the text will only be truncated if it at least X characters long.
Otherwise the full text is returned.

Would be nice if the ending=”” works with XHTML formatting. For example:
{exp:trunchtml chars=“300” ending=”...”}{article_content}{/exp:trunchtml}
if article_content has some content here, the output would be:
some content here…
instead of: some content here…
