How can I limit the number of characters in each post summary to 150 and end it with three periods in Webflow?

To limit the number of characters in each post summary to 150 and end it with three periods in Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the CMS Collection where your posts are located.
2. Edit the Rich Text field that contains the post content by clicking on it.
3. In the Rich Text Editor, locate the "Options" dropdown menu and click on it.
4. Select "Plain Text" from the options. This will remove any formatting from the text and make it easier to count the characters.
5. Next, click on the "Custom Attributes" tab in the right sidebar of the Rich Text Editor.
6. Add a new attribute by clicking on the "+ Add Attribute" button.
7. Give the attribute a name, such as "summary-length".
8. Set the value of the attribute to "150". This will be used to specify the maximum number of characters for the summary.
9. Close the Custom Attributes tab.
10. Now, go back to the "Options" dropdown menu and select "Open Code Editor."
11. In the Code Editor, locate the line that starts with {{ item.body }}. This is the line that outputs the post content.
12. Modify the line to include a substring filter that limits the text to the desired character length:

• {{ item.body | truncate: summary-length }}

1. Next, add three periods at the end of the summary to indicate that it has been shortened. Modify the line to:

• {{ item.body | truncate: summary-length }}...

1. Save the changes, and the post summaries will now be limited to 150 characters and end with three periods.

This method uses Webflow's CMS and custom attributes in combination with the substring and truncate filters in the Code Editor to achieve the desired character limit and formatting for the post summaries.
