Limit in XSL how many chars from some value-of node will be displayed

Hi,

I have sample:

<description> node in XML has 150 chars of some text

I wish to limit via XSL displaying all 150 chars from node <description> to first 50 chars

Is that accomplishable via XSL and I would need some code help.

thx

use this:

<xsl:value-of select="substring(description, 1, 50)" />

this will work assuming you're in the right context (ie: in the parent node of description).. otherwise, all you'd have to change is the reference to description.

thx for quick reply
