Hi,

I have a list with the latest comments on the index page. These comments are trimmed to 80 characters. This causes a problem when the 80th character is in the middle of a href in a link. The href attribute is opened but never properly closed. The result in mozilla is that the stylesheet is no longer correctly applied as the html has become invalid. It would be nice if the trimming would not cause the html to go invalid.

Thanks,
Andrej

Rather than just using trim_to, you can add remove_html in the tag as well:


That will prevent this from being a problem. Usually, I only use trim_to on fields that I know html will not be used in.

You could also use the FirstNWords plugin which looks at words rather than characters.
