Hi,
Sorry for the belated reply on this. A project I'm working on needed two types of functionality, which I'm doing right now with some custom code, but I had thought about suggesting a sandbox project for those two to contribute back to the taglibs community. However, I noticed that String taglib already exists, and it makes a lot more sense for me to suggest an addition to those, and I'd be happy to help out with coding if my somewhat amateur-coding skills would be adequate for the task. 1) A more intelligent substring. In my application, I want to give "summaries" of a long string of text. I specify a cutoff of, say 50 characters, but it will also extend it past 50 to the next space character in the case it gets cut off in the middle of the word, so the word isn't truncated. 2) HTML stripping. Would be nice to have the functionality to intelligently strip HTML/XML tags from a string. PHP offers this functionality, and I miss it somewhat in Java. If you would like to incorporate those ideas and even (gasp) let me try my hand on coding those functionality, feel free to email me off list and we can discuss more. -tim > > Now that there is a released jar from the Commons Lang component, I can > start to think about releasing a 1.0 of the String taglib. > > Before I do such a thing, I'd like to ask if any users would like to make > any input on bugs [I'm not aware of any], features or desired > documentation.
