Truncate a string in Smarty

Suppose you have a sentense in smarty that contains more characters and the rows of the table where you wants to show it will become wrap which sounds very bad. So you can use smarty variable modifier called 'truncate'.


It has following syntaxes, truncate:how_many_characters_to_show:what_characters_appear_at_end
truncate:int:int
lets,

$yourString = "Hello World";

{$yourString|truncate}//output// Hello World

{$articleTitle|truncate:3}//output// Hel...

{$articleTitle|truncate:3:""}//output// Hel

{$articleTitle|truncate:3:"---"}//output// Hel---
