I have problem with truncation of text. My text includes html tags also. On main page I display only 100 characters of it, and give read more link to user. Now if within these 100 characters, if there is any html tag that is opening and not getting closed within 100 characters, then that html tag is getting displayed on main page.
How can I solve this problem? Is there any solution for it?

Call strip_tags before truncating
See: Peak Obsession
I'm following this topic merely because I'm interested in the outcome. I looked up strip_tags in the API and it seems that it 'removes' the tags. I don't believe that's what Sunny wants. Truncate take a number of characters and appends a ... removing the remaining characters that may have been there. If the end tag of a </b> is truncated away, then all the text from that point on will be bolded. How is this resolved?
