Snippet List
This is a custom template filter that allows you to truncate a string to a maximum of num characters, but respecting word boundaries. So, for example, if `string = "This is a test string."`, then `{{ string|truncatechars:12 }}` would give you "This is a..." instead of "This is a te".

Truncates a string after a given length, keeping the last word complete.
This filter is more precise than the default `truncatewords` filter.
Words length vary too much, 10 words may result in 40 or 70 characters, so cutting by character count makes more sense.
There is a [blog post](http://ricobl.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/templates-django-filtro-truncatewords-melhorado/) about this snippet (in Portuguese).
