This class can shorten text to fit within a limited length.

It can shorten a given text string by truncating text that exceeds a given length.

The class can also shorten file names by limiting them to a given length but preserving the original file name extension.

It may also fit text into columns of table cells by either shortening or wrapping the text in the column.

Sometimes it is necessary to limit the length of text to be displayed in certain circumstances. That is the case of text in e-mail messages or file names.

This class provides a solution to truncate text in a way that it does not cut words in the middle.

It can also shorten file names in a way that they do not exceed a certain limit, but still keep the file extension at the end of the file name.
