>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2118995. --> Reported by: [alexverb](https://www.drupal.org/user/1129948) >>> <h2>Project page:</h2> <p>My solution is an answer to a long standing issue in Drupal core as explained on the project page:<br> <a href="https://drupal.org/sandbox/Mywebmaster/2118939">https://drupal.org/sandbox/Mywebmaster/2118939</a></p> <h2>Git clone command:</h2> <p><code>git clone --branch 7.x-1.x Mywebmaster@git.drupal.org:sandbox/Mywebmaster/2118939.git field_html_trim</code></p> <h2>Functionality:</h2> <p>This module provides a neat solution for cutting off the text without taking any HTML tags into consideration. It uses a regular expression containing all the words of a trimmed textual representation of the field value to extract the wanted block of HTML.</p> <p>This is a simple solution for anyone that just wants their teasers to have the same textual length regardless of any links, images or other tags that are in the field value. This module does not provide a way to cut off at the end of a sentence. It goes up to word level.</p> <h2>Similar projects:</h2> <p>There are multiple other solutions that try to provide a better trim method for D7. But they both always count the HTML unless tags are removed as well. Thats why my project deserves it's own place:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/project/field_word_boundary">Field word boundary</a>: Field HTML trim also trims at word level.</li> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/project/smart_trim">Smart trim</a>: Allows for stripping HTML tags all together.</li> </ul> <h2>Simplytest.me:</h2> <p>If you would like to use simplytestme:</p> <ol> <li><a href="http://simplytest.me/project/2118939">http://simplytest.me/project/2118939</a></li> <li>Enable Field HTML Trim at /node#overlay=admin/structure/types/manage/article/display for the body field.</li> <li>Create some content with lot's of html and some content without html in the body field. Trim will be just the same.</li> </ol> <h2>Manual reviews of other projects</h2> <p><a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8296039#comment-8296039">https://drupal.org/comment/8296039#comment-8296039</a><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8296105#comment-8296105">https://drupal.org/comment/8296105#comment-8296105</a><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/7195422#comment-7195422">https://drupal.org/comment/7195422#comment-7195422</a></p>
