Proplem with Word Limit Plugin
Development and Programming
Hello once again with one more question….
here’s the problem with the World Limit Plugin
I want to limit my {body} words to 65 and I do this with the code:
<div class="entry">
{exp:word_limit total="65"}
{body}
{/exp:word_limit}
</div>The problem is when i do that, if the last word in the post ends with an italic or bold word, the rest of the text from that post in the blog becomes either italic or bold.
I can not figure it out…. help.
Thanx.

This problem is inheritant with this kind of plugins. You can only strip all HTML coding before truncation. There is another plugin available from mdesign, that does this: eexcerpt. However, all formating and styling will be lost using this approach.

Or TruncHTML. It limits by number of characters, though. But it doesn’t count chars in HTML-tags, doesn’t truncate in the middle of tags and tries to close all tags that are left open.
I will try both solutions thank you.
Although I don’t get the cause of this problem. Why would it effect the rest of the text all around the blog since the tag is closed?
That usually happens when the Word Limit Plugin cuts off the text in between an opening and a closing tag.
