    Hi gilad

    Try this out:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(umbraco.library:StripHtml($currentPage/aliasOfEditor),'200','')" />

    Does that work?

    You are welcome.

    The other part about not splitting u a word, can't be done using the above extensions. I can't remember if one of the extensions in the uComponents-package can do this. BUt maybe you could give it a try.

    Another approach could be to inser three dots ( ... ) in the last parameter of the TruncateString-extension like this: 

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(umbraco.library:StripHtml($currentPage/aliasOfEditor),'200','...')" />

    This would result in three dots inserted after the last character, showing the users that this text is continued somewhere. Just a suggestion :)
