Question

I have a table and I want to change a column, the column contains a string. For example: \"this is my string\" --> \"this is my...\". I try to do this whith abbreviate().

Answer 1

Your syntax needs to be corrected.

The general case is: ${#strings.abbreviate(str,10)} so you would want:

<td th:text="${#strings.abbreviate(fgp.explanation, 10)}">[this is my...]</td>
