(Quick Reference)
Purpose
Long text can be summarized to word boundaries using this tag, with ellipsis added for text that is too long.
This is useful for displaying blog entry summaries or summarized content for search results. Often you will want to pass the text through wcm:htmlToText first, to strip out any markup that might cause bad HTML when summarized.
ExampleSummary:
<wcm:summarize length="50" encodeAs="HTML">
<wcm:htmlToText>${node.content}</wcm:htmlToText>
</wcm:summarize>Description
The supported attributes are:
- encodeAs - optional Grails codec to apply. i.e. pass HTML to perform HTML escaping on the result
- length (optional) - maximum length of the resulting text. Defaults to 100.
- ellipsis (optional) - string to append to the end of the text if it is shortened. Defaults to "...".
