jinja2 template char limit

Question

in {{blog.content}} I want to limit the viewer to see only 50 char at most, how can I do that using jinja2?

After searching through their documentation I have found that {{ s|autolink[ length[ nofollow]] }} has a length property but it will make it auto link! Which I don't want it to be.

Answer 1

Have you tried the python slice notation?

{{ blog.content[:50] }}

Answer 2

The documentation for jinja2 says to use {{ blog.content|truncate(50) }}. Thats what I have been using thus far.

You can find the docs for template here.
