Adding an ellipsis mark automatically to the entry data

I guess you have wanted to add an ellipsis mark, like "...", in your entry title automatically.

So, how did you do to apply the mark?

Oscar, an author of "WolaWola", wrote some answer to this question. In his journal, he apply the ellipsis mark only using MT tags.

Let's say you want to apply an ellipsis mark, such as "...", in your entry title when it has over 18 characters.

Here is an Oscar's sample code.

<MTEntryTitle count_characters="1" setvar="count_word">
<$MTEntryTitle trim_to="18"$>
<MTIf name="count_word" gt="18">...</MTIf>

In this code, he uses "trim_to" modifier to cut off the entry title to 18 caracters. Also he enter the number of title to the variable named "count_word", and when it has over 18 numbers, an ellipsis mark will be applied automatically by "".

Simple, but useful sample code.
