Based on [string_truncate] tag created by John Burwell, gf_lowtext returns truncated text to specified chars without truncate words, and add a suffix at the end of the string. It takes three params: an input -text, the lenght of the output and an optional suffix for the output. If the result ends with truncated word, this tag will remove the remaining chars, and will return a clean string.
Parameters
-chars
integer, required
The length of the output string
-suffix
string, optional
A string to append at the end
-text
string, required
The text to be truncated
