    Description

      as provided by jakarta string taglib. It would be good if this was part of commons as it doesn't make sense to use a taglib jar for non-web projects.

      The taglib javadoc says:
      "...It will search for the first space after the lower limit and truncate the string there. It will also append any string passed as a parameter to the end of the string. The hard limit can be specified to forcibily truncate a string (in the case of an extremely long word or such)..."
