Usually, a website gives preview of its articles by extracting some of the
first characters. This is easy if the article is a pure text, but what if
it's a HTML text? For instance, if I have the full text:
<p>
bla bla bla
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
</p>
and I take the first 40 characters, it would result in:
<p>
bla bla bla
<ul>
<li>item
As you can see, the tags are incomplete and it might break other texts below
it (I mean, other than this preview). I need a way to solve this problem.
