Let's say that I have an original string like:
This is regular text <span class="text">with some text inside a
span</span>
Let's say I want to trim it to 25 chars.
"Brainless trimming" would give me something like
"This is regular text <sp"
Wich would completelly mess the design.
However, if I finish the tag, the following text will be formatted by
the <span class="text"> tag, thus messing the design also.
It also happened to trim to half, having the same effect.
I want to find a smart way to do this trimming in order not to have any
side effects.
