Is truncating possible?

So i'm trying to truncate a portion of a text.

I tried this:

{{ content |> md |> truncate(20) }}

While this line does seem to work the output is not giving as in there is no content output but also no error. Am i doing it wrong?

The code {{ "Hello" |> truncate(2) }} is compiled as "Hello"?.truncate?.(2), which returns undefined. Maybe it should be compiled to "Hello"?.truncate(2) so it would output an error... 🤔

truncate function doesn't exist (unless it's register as a filter). You can use substring for that:

{{ content |> md |> substring(0, 20) }}

Thank you for giving me an alternative, didn't know that could be used.
