strings.Truncate	Returns the given string, truncating it to a maximum length without cutting words or leaving unclosed HTML tags.			functions_and_methods aliases returnType signatures truncate template.HTML strings.Truncate SIZE [ELLIPSIS] INPUT	/functions/truncate

Since Go templates are HTML-aware, truncate will intelligently handle normal strings vs HTML strings:

{{ "<em>Keep my HTML</em>" | safeHTML | truncate 10 }} → <em>Keep my …</em>

Note

If you have a raw string that contains HTML tags you want to remain treated as HTML, you will need to convert the string to HTML using the safe.HTML function before sending the value to truncate. Otherwise, the HTML tags will be escaped when passed through the truncate function.
