This is not really a bug ... but I really didn't know where to post it !

So, suppose U have a field with some HTMl inside !
And suppose that U use it like this

Code:

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>
    {$html_var|truncate:300|strip_tags}
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>


this can cause an error Sad

because if at the char 290 (for example) the variable $html_var contains something like "<table><tr><td> text text text " the strip_tags modifier will not take away the <td> tag (because it doesn't find any end tag in the $html_var) !!!

So the code of your HTML will result corrupted !!!

U can resolve usign the 2 modifier in the differe order

Code:

$html_var|strip_tags|truncate:300


But suppose that my var $html_var if very long and I have to display a list of these $html_var ... this will results in a real more CPU load ... or ?

I hope to have been clear enough ...

Simone

Very nice description of issue!

- The extra time could be mitigated using caching.
- if your your html are from static sources, you can store the stipped versions of them
- if this is the only need for $html_var, you can do the srip/truncate in PHP
- you can write a new strip_tags plugin that supports an optional truncate field.
