truncatechars django

Truncatechars is a filter in Django that allows you to truncate a string to a specified number of characters. It takes a parameter for the number of characters to retain. Here's an example of how to use it in a Django template:

{{ my_text|truncatechars:50 }}

In this example, "my_text" is the variable containing the text you want to truncate, and 50 is the maximum number of characters to display. This will display the first 50 characters of the "my_text" variable.

When the original text exceeds the specified number of characters, truncatechars appends an ellipsis (...) to the end of the displayed text to indicate that it has been truncated. If the original text is shorter than the specified number of characters, it is displayed as is.
