PHP Text Truncation Utility
===========================

[](#php-text-truncation-utility)

This utility truncates plain text to a maximum length. It recognizes paragraphs, sentences and words and uses them to cut the text in a smart way.

#### Example

[](#example)

```
// Setup a truncation for a maximum string length of 370 characters.
// Use the Paragraph-Strategy, which tries to find a paragraph
// within the first 370 characters, and falls back to a sentence or
// a word.
$t = new Truncation( 370, Truncation::STRATEGY_PARAGRAPH );

// Apply the truncation
$txt = $t->truncate( $x );
```
