Hacksaw plugin breaking rich text field When I use the hacksaw to truncate the formatting goes away.  If I remove hacksaw it comes back.  So, my question has changed, is there a way for me to truncate the text while keeping the formatting?

The return on the line below is from a rich text field and it will not show formatting unless I remove hacksaw.

 {{ workItem.summary | hacksaw(words='75', append='...') }}
Hacksaw has an allow parameter where you specify which HTML tags you want it to pass through. 

You might want to try something like:

{{ workItem.summary | hacksaw(words='75', append='...', allow='&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;') }}


That allows p, br, strong, and em tags to pass through untouched. If you need to allow others, just add 'em to the list.
