Is there an HTML safe truncate method in Rails?

Question

I have a string of HTML in Rails. I\'d like to truncate the string after a certain number of characters not including the HTML markup. Also, if the split happens to fall in

Answer 1

We can do that with the help of simple_format http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper.html#method-i-simple_format

html = "1234567890"
simle_format(truncate_markup(html, :length => 5)) 

=> "123 456 7890"
