trim string, append '...'

[otisg <ot...@ureach.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to find out if I can use any of the Jakarta taglibs
to do some string formatting.  In particular, I am trying to
trim strings that exceed a certain length, and append something
like ellipses to it.
e.g.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard -> Wolfgang Amadeus M...

I tried looking at the docs, but this URL gives a 404:

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-1.0-doc/standard-1.0/index.html

I cannot use a 1.1 version of standard taglibs, only 1.0.
If support for this does not exist in 1.0, but does exist in
1.1, I would still love to know. :)

Thank you,
Otis
