Is there a render function to limit characters displayed in a field in table view?

Is there a render function to limit characters displayed in a field in table view?

I have a table with half a dozen fields to display in table view. One of these is a comments field which could be a few words to a Michener novel. In PHP I can do something like:

$text = substr ($text,0,80);
if ( strlen ($text > 80 ) ) { $text = "$text ..."; }

An example please how to do this in datatables?

Bt the way, just wondering which formatting editor you are using here in the forum.

    You can use the Ellipsis plugin, there's an example of it here.
