You mean, truncate it to a certain number of words?

In XSLT 2.0, that's

tokenize($in, '\W')[position() = 1 to $n]

where $in is your input string and $n is the number of words.

It's a fair bit harder in XSLT 1.0 (most things are).

Depends if your 1.0 parser supports str:tokenize (a EXSLT function). If it does, then it not a "fair bit harder" but it will be "a wee bit harder" :)

See here:

I think Xalan supports this function if you are using it.
