oxy_getSomeText(text, length) Function

This function allows you to truncate a long string and to set a maximum number of displayed characters.

The following properties are supported:

  • text - Displays the actual text.
  • length - Sets the maximum number of characters that are displayed.
  • endsWithPoints - Specifies if the truncated text ends with ellipsis.

If an attribute value is very large, we can trim its content before it is displayed as static content:

*[longdesc]:before{
  content: oxy_getSomeText(attr(longdesc), 200);
}
