The built-in truncation works only with single strings -- it will not
inspect your HTML and figure out how to do something intelligent with it
(it is not even clear how you would want to handle truncation with
multi-line HTML text). You should instead handle any truncation yourself in
the represent function and set maxtextlength to a large value so the grid
doesn't do any further truncation.
