Hi I was wondering if there was a way to limit the_content_rss by the number of characters instead of the number of words. I'm working on something where the amount of space available for the text to go is very small and there is a lot of variation between the length of words.
I tried passing it through a crop function afterwards but the_content_rss simply displays as is (even if trying to store it as a string). Passing the_content through works fine, then limiting it to a number of characters using a crop function, but the problem arises when there is a link early in the post so it'll cut off like:
<p>this is a <a href="http://www...</p>
which tends to break the layout.
