jQuery Plugin For Cropping Text Without Breaking Words - Limit Text

Limit Text is a lightweight, cross-browser, and user-friendly jQuery text truncation plugin which truncates long text by characters and hides overflowing content using ellipsis (...) without breaking a word in half.

How to use it:

1. Import jQuery JavaScript library and the jQuery Limit Text's JavaScript limit.text.min.js into the html document.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-nvAa0+6Qg9clwYCGGPpDQLVpLNn0fRaROjHqs13t4Ggj3Ez50XnGQqc/r8MhnRDZ" 
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="limit.text.min.js"></script>

2. Call the function on your text wrapper to truncate the text to 100 characters.

<p id="example">Limit Text is a lightweight, cross-browser, and user-friendly jQuery text truncation plugin which truncates long text by characters and hides overflowing content using ellipsis (...) without breaking a word in half.</p>

$(function () {
  $('#example').limitText();
});

3. Specify the max number of characters.

<p id="example">Limit Text is a lightweight, cross-browser, and user-friendly jQuery text truncation plugin which truncates long text by characters and hides overflowing content using ellipsis (...) without breaking a word in half.</p>

$(function () {
  $('#example').limitText({
    length: 140
  });
});

4. Customize the ellipsis character.

<p id="example">Limit Text is a lightweight, cross-browser, and user-friendly jQuery text truncation plugin which truncates long text by characters and hides overflowing content using ellipsis (...) without breaking a word in half.</p>

$(function () {
  $('#example').limitText({
    ellipsisText: '[...]'
