Hi, I have the following I was trying out...
Code:

{$controller|truncate:3} this just returns ...
{substr($controller,0,3)}... this works as expected (myc...)
{$title|substr($controller,0,3)}... this breaks the page

Note: $controller is a string like "MyControllerName".
Ideally, I would like to get the first line working, but it doesn't work as expected. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The docs mention:
"[The default trailing string, '...'] length is included in the truncation length setting."

So, maybe
Code:
{$controller|truncate:6}

Or
Code:
{$controller|truncate:4:\u{2026}}

Yes, you're right! Darn my poor comprehension skills.
