Rails - Apr 2008 - How can I limit the <td> characters?

I have this code:

<table>
  <tr>
  <th><%=_(''Client'')%></th>
  </tr>



<% for repair_ticket in @repair_tickets %>
   <tr class="<%=
cycle(''odd'',''par'')%>">
  <td><%=h repair_ticket.client.name %> </td>
   </tr>
<% end %>
</table>


I want only to show the first 10 letters of client.name. Can I do that
only with HTML? Should I use Ruby?

rails has the truncate helper, so in this case  
truncate(repair_ticket.client.name, 10)
