Limit text when output richtext
No need for a plugin, just use twig's slice filter, combined with the striptags filter.

I've thrown in the default filter for good measure, in case the body is empty for some reason.

{{ entry.body|striptags|slice(0,100)|default('Read more') }}...


slice will simply output the first 100 characters (starting at 0 the first character), including spaces into the template. striptags ensures that no html tags will be output.
