Set character limit on personalisation block

Hello, 
I'm wondering if there's a way to set a character limit on copy coming through from a personalised piece of content so it can be truncated 

For instance
<%= targetData.Description %> will return: 
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit

 

Where the ideal will be for it to return:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...

Any help would be appreciated

You can use textarea max length (maxlength="50") this is in the HTML property best of HTML

 

You can add is CSS and can be utilized in all over HTML

Hi @andyhu5 ,

If you need to truncate after a specific number of character you can use slice.

If you need to truncate after a specific word then you need a combination of index and slice.

 

Thanks,

David

@andyhu5  where exactly you want to use it.  If this is to display in email, there is other way around to achive it.
