Rails - Jun 2013 - How about add a method to truncate a long text more smart?

sometimes we need to truncate a long text more smart. 
eg:

The Model layer represents your domain model (such as Account, Product, 
Person, Post, etc.) and encapsulates the business logic that is specific to 
your application. In Rails, database-backed model classes are derived from 
ActiveRecord::Base. Active Record allows you to present the data from 
database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business 
logic methods. Although most Rails models are backed by a database, models 
can also be ordinary Ruby classes, or Ruby classes that implement a set of 
interfaces as provided by the Active Model module. You can read more about 
Active Record in its README.

I create a method content_truncate
<https://github.com/zlx/content-truncate> to
implementation my requirement. But it is so immature for merge into 
activesupport

So welcome advices

I''d use it either in a validation or a callback to the model.

 You might checkout truncate_html
<https://github.com/hgmnz/truncate_html>and
consider combining your functionality into there as options.

So, this would be something you''d use in a view? If so, it should go in
a helper.

more than that, you can use it to produce your summary and save it into
database.

I think it''s a universal function, and we need not to limit it.
just expand String

just expand String
If you want to, go ahead. Put it in a module, then send :include to
String with your module name.

If you really did not want suggestions, why did you ask for them? If you
already have an answer you are settled on, why open things up? Just do
it, see what you get.
