Hello,

the current code does this:

HTML_Truncator.truncate("<p>Русский текст.</p>", 5, length_in_chars: true)
# => "<p>…</p>"
HTML_Truncator.truncate("<p>Русский текст.</p>", 7, length_in_chars: true)
# => "<p>Русский…</p>"

What were your expectations?

[araslanov-e]

I expected

HTML_Truncator.truncate("<p>Русский текст.</p>", 5, length_in_chars: true)
# => "<p>Русск…</p>"

[araslanov-e]

Sorry, problem not in language

HTML_Truncator.truncate("<p>Russkiy tekst.</p>", 5, length_in_chars: true)
#=> "<p>…</p>"

But, this is not true, why is not displayed part of a word?

#=> "<p>Russk...</p>"

or

#=> "<p>Ru...</p>"

Yes, as explained in the README, HTML Truncator doesn't cut inside a word but goes back to the immediately preceding word boundary.

The first version of HTML Truncator was made for a website where it made more sense to cut on a number of words and not inside them. Later, someone asks me to specify the length in chars to have a more precise length, but he was still OK with not cutting words. So, I kept this behaviour. Maybe, it should be an interesting idea to cut inside words when the length is in chars.

Cutting into words would be a nice add on switch option. e.g. keep_words_intact: false
