Usage
{{Short
|string =
|count =
|suffix =
|tolerance =
|forcecount =
}}
- count: optional / default: 25
- The number of displayed characters (white space / blanks are counted).
- It uses a tolerance of 5. So if you define count=10 the string will not be shortened if it is between 1 and 15 characters long.
- suffix: optional / default: " …" (not ...)
- Adds an suffix at the end of the shortened string.
- tolerance: optional / default: 5
- Override the default tolerance.
- forcecount: optional
- Override the (default) tolerance and use a strict count.
Examples
{{Short|string=The number of displayed characters (white space / blanks are counted).|count=40}}
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=The number of displayed characters (white space / blanks are counted).|count=500}}
The sring short than the count. It is fully returned without suffix:
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
