Hi Garvin,

before I reported the bug i took a short look into the relevant code, so
i'm aware that it is not as simple as it seems. I would have fixed it by
myself. The question i have is: what's the reason for cutting the strings.
I see no use in hard linebreaks. To me it seems they are causing trouble
but have no true benefit. It's not only BBCode that gets broken by it.
Normal text is sometimes also broken in the midst of a word.

best regards
Lars

Hi lbecker,

sadly BBCode truncating is not as trivial as it seems (read the mentioned
URLs in the original tracker item), so there hasn't been progress on this.

Actually, I don't think this can really be resolved. Whenever you cut
strings in a hard way to force linebreaks in the browser, you cannot be
sure to not truncate bbcode or HTML in the middle without really
performanse intensive parsing.

Are there any updates on this? I experience the same problems with BBCode
which are somewhat annoying since "BBCode" and "recent comments" both are
core plugins of s9y.
