#1 RazorBlade - Text.Crop() and Text.Ellipsis()
RazorBlade Text.Crop(...) and Text.Ellipsis(...) v1.1
These demos show how to crop text properly, because Razor Blade handles a lot of issues you'll usually have cropping text.
Example Text
Original which visually has 31 characters:
- The human view - how it looks for users:
We love Tokyo, Zürich & München
123456789-123456789-123456789-1
- The truth - how the string looks internally:
We love Tokyo, Zürich & München
123456789-1234567.....89-123....456.....789-1
Word-Split Problems
This demonstrates how strings are cut off in the middle of words if we don't use razor blade. It also breaks html entities like & (the & character) or umlauts because ΓΌ = ü.
