More options:

k) <f:image title="{post.title, f:format.crop(maxChars: 30)}" />
l) <f:image title="{post.title >> f:format.crop(maxChars: 30)}" />
m) <f:image title="{post.title ~> f:format.crop(maxChars: 30)}" />
n) <f:image title="{post.title |> f:format.crop(maxChars: 30)}" />

Fine to see that we have the same opinion :)

g) would resemble the TS2 processors, but as the angles point to the left this is IMHO confusing.
The data flows from left to right. But it's confusing for me also in TS2 ;)

My favourite is b) even if it has no "direction". And if it had, it should point to the right, not
the left. n) is a nice variant of that. The pipe and the gt. form a triangle pointing rightwards.
