Answered Problem with content:ellipsis

Displaying the content using ellipsis to limit the number of characters displayed causes a problem with html in the content. The html tag characters are part of the total count. This will leave tags open without the closing tab</..> or >, open "s and other related issues. It appears the truncation is by raw char count and not verifying if html remains valid.

Is there a workaround to handle the issue? Or is the problem deeper in the php when parsing, tokenizing and determining which characters to count?

sottwell,

Thanks so much for the help. It did the job!

I need just a little bit more to get the content just the way I wanted it.

[[+content:striptags=`<p><a><strong>`:ellipsis=`500`]]


Thanks again,

Roy
