Function: boundExcerpt()
boundExcerpt(
text,max?):string
Defined in: backend/src/citations/index.ts:44
Trim an excerpt to the cap without cutting a word in half.
A citation ending mid-word reads as corrupt, and a reader cannot tell whether the source said something else. The ellipsis is explicit so a truncated excerpt is visibly truncated rather than silently shorter than what was read.
Parameters
text
string
max?
number = MAX_CITATION_EXCERPT
Returns
string
