django.template.defaultfilters truncatechars Example Code

truncatechars is a callable within the django.template.defaultfilters module of the Django project.

escape, filesizeformat, safe, slugify, striptags, and title are several other callables with code examples from the same django.template.defaultfilters package.

Example 1 from django-appmail

Django-Appmail (PyPI package information) is a Django app for handling transactional email templates. While the project began development as a way to work with the Mandrill transactional API, it is not exclusive to that API. The project simply provides a way to store and render email content. The library does not send or receive emails.

Django-Appmail is open sourced under the MIT license.
