[Typo3-dev] Crop on HTML contents

[Davide Principi]

Hi all again,
I would crop an HTML string, being sure the cut will happen in TEXT and 
not in TAGS.

For example I can't crop the following string with stdWrap using a 
char-limit of 3 because it will break the HTML code:

<div>content <b>text</b></div>

So the function has to keep track of all opening tags, and find the crop 
point counting content-chars only. Then close the tags.

I looked for an extension, but I didn't find a solution.
Is there some API function that can help or something already working?

Thanks,
