Truncate long onyomi and kunyomi readings #8

Closed dper closed 10 years ago

dper commented 10 years ago

Some kanji have many readings. We don't really want to display them all. A solution:

Make the string to display.
Truncate it at 50 characters. Or 30.
Remove everything after but not including the last (Japanese) blank space.
Add an ellipsis.
Do this for both onyomi and kunyomi readings.

On second thought, maybe this isn't necessary. Some lines are long, but it's easy enough to scroll down to read them if desired. Also, the main objective is the primary definition located at the top of the back of the card. Other information appears below that, so even if it goes off screen, we don't particularly mind.

If anyone feels strongly that this should be changed, please reopen the issue.
