The truncate filter doesn't do what I would like it to do.

[SNIP] This code appears to be based on the String plugin rather than the truncate filter. Are you trying to change the filter instead or both maybe? Also, when posting patches (although this appears to be more of a demonstration than a patch) it'd be nice to see the diff -u on them rather than straight code so that it's easy to view what changes were made. (Be sure to post the version # you diff'd on as well.) The idea doesn't seem too crazy to me, especially since it wouldn't change existing behavior. -- Josh _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
