jinja2 template char limit

[sadaf2605 via StackOverflow]

in {{blog.content}} I want to limit the viewer to see only 50 char at most, how can I do that using jinja2?

After searching through their documentation I have found that {{ s|autolink[ length[ nofollow]] }} has a length property but it will make it auto link! Which I don't want it to be.

Have you tried the python slice notation? Not sure if it would work offhand and can't test right now but:

{{ blog.content[:50] }}
