@yeago
Yeah, you’re right — 2 ways to solve this — lowercase everything before you do the analysis or use regular expressions. In any case, it’s just meant as a quick filter to remove the most common bad words and is definitely not meant to be a one stop shop. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

Thanks that’s useful but I found two bugs with this:
- it throws an error if there’s no space in the string before max_length
- the get the character right after truncation, you should use value[max_length], not value[max_length + 1] which also solves the issue chris reported.
Heres the fixed version:

from django import template
register = template.Library()

@register.filter(“truncate_chars”)
def truncate_chars(value, max_length):
if len(value) <= max_length:
return value

truncd_val = value[:max_length]
if value[max_length] != ” “:
rightmost_space = truncd_val.rfind(” “)
if rightmost_space != -1:
truncd_val = truncd_val[:rightmost_space]

return truncd_val + “…”

Excellent! That was exactly what I was looking for. I agree, this should be in Django proper. Until then, you saved me 10 min. Thanks!
