I have a custom filter that does just this that I use in virtually every single Django project I use. It's such a common pattern that it seems almost silly not to have it included in core. It's also small enough that it won't add much in the way of maintenance. Also, there already exists a truncate_words, which has nice symmetry with the proposed name. Finally, as has been said before, it's something that new users intuitively expect to find, so let's not disappoint them.
I quite strongly feel that slice is not a suitable alternative, because 1) adding the ellipses requires a non-trivial amount of additional template logic (and this logic need be repeated every time ellipses are wanted) and 2) it makes the actual markup of the template less semantically relevant. Count me as a big +1 for including this. Thanks, Eric Florenzano -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
