Question

Laravel

there is a text that I enter through the summernote editor, when outputting the text, I need to cut it to 200, I tried it like this

{!!Illuminate\Support\Str::limit($post->text,200)!!}
But it doesn’t work I also tried it like this :

{{Illuminate\Support\Str::limit($post->text,200)}}
But then the styles and tags are displayed along with the text

As a rule, wysiwyg passes html markup. The Laravel helper does not know how to crop with it in mind.
Therefore, there are three options here:
1. Before cropping, execute strip_tags in order to remove all tags from the text;
2. Trim the length taking into account the tags, because they will also be included in these 200 characters, and get a curve markup;
3. On the front side, check the text length with a script before sending, and on the back side, when receiving, remove tags, get the length and compare with the allowed one.
