Q:

Is it possible to use the truncate tag in django templates without getting the ...?

if value = "manbearpig" and in templates you called {{value|truncate:6}} you would get a displayed value along the lines of manbe....
How can I get the same result just without the ... in the end? 

A:

You can use the slice filter. It works the same as regular slicing built into Python.
 {{ value|slice:":6" }}
