truncate_words(words_count, options = {})
public
Truncates a given text after a given number of words (words_count):
'Once upon a time in a world far far away'.truncate_words(4) # => "Once upon a time..."
Pass a string or regexp :separator to specify a different separator of words:
'Once<br>upon<br>a<br>time<br>in<br>a<br>world'.truncate_words(5, separator: '<br>') # => "Once<br>upon<br>a<br>time<br>in..."
The last characters will be replaced with the :omission string (defaults to “…”):
'And they found that many people were sleeping better.'.truncate_words(5, omission: '... (continued)') # => "And they found that many... (continued)"
