1.2.7 截断长文本
可以使用shorten()截断长文本来创建一个小结或预览。所有现有的空白符(如制表符、换行符以及多个空格组成的序列)都会被规范化为一个空格。然后文本将被截断为小于或等于指定的长度,而且会在单词边界之间截断,避免包含不完整的单词。
import textwrap
from textwrap_example import sample_text
dedented_text = textwrap.dedent(sample_text)
original = textwrap.fill(dedented_text,width=50)
print('Original:\n')
print(original)
shortened = textwrap.shorten(original,100)
shortened_wrapped = textwrap.fill(shortened,width=50)
print('\nShortened:\n')
print(shortened_wrapped)
如果从原文本将非空白文本作为截断部分删除,那么他会被替换为一个占位值。可以为shorten()提供参数placeholder来替代默认值[…]

features found un many text editors.
