The Text Extension
==================

The Text extension provides the following filters:

* ``truncate``
* ``wordwrap``

Installation
------------

First, :ref:`install the Extensions library<extensions-install>`. Next, add
the extension to Twig::

    $twig->addExtension(new Twig_Extensions_Extension_Text());

Wrapping Words
--------------

Use the ``wordwrap`` filter to split your text in lines with equal length.

.. code-block:: jinja

    {{ "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing"|wordwrap(10) }}

This example would print::

    Lorem ipsu
    m dolor si
    t amet, co
    nsectetur
    adipiscing

The default separator is "\\n", but you can easily change that by providing one:

.. code-block:: jinja

    {{ "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing"|wordwrap(10, "zz\n") }}

This would result in::

    Lorem ipsuzz
    m dolor sizz
    t amet, cozz
    nsectetur zz
    adipiscing

Truncating Text
---------------

Use the ``truncate`` filter to cut off a string after limit is reached

.. code-block:: jinja

    {{ "Hello World!"|truncate(5) }}

The example would output ``Hello...``, as ``...`` is the default separator.

You can also tell truncate to preserve whole words by setting the second
parameter to ``true``. If the last Word is on the the separator, truncate
will print out the whole Word.

.. code-block:: jinja

    {{ "Hello World!"|truncate(7, true) }}

Here ``Hello World!`` would be printed.

If you want to change the separator, just set the third parameter to
your desired separator.

.. code-block:: jinja

    {{ "Hello World!"|truncate(7, false, "??") }}

This example would print ``Hello W??``.
