Truncating text with New Line Characters

[ssteeg]

Thanks for the work on this library. However, recently I noticed an issue where the truncation was failing and causing strange results. After some investigation, it was happening when the text contained a new line character - \n - and stripHTML: true, also lines: 2.

Example input:

This is a long line, it will cause things to start to wrap at some point, what is really happening though
This is a short line.

Output

p This is a long line, it will cause things to start to wrap at wra

I tried to trace the issue a bit and it seems like it's related to https://github.com/rviscomi/trunk8/blob/master/trunk8.js#L54 or #29. The new line character causes the HTML tags to not be properly open and closed. As a result, the stripped tag gets inserted into the truncated result.

My workaround fix was to strip any \n characters before passing the input to trunk8.

Thanks!

@ssteeg check this out #77 , I think it's better than stripping \n... let me know if this fixes your issue

Thanks @dorilla. I no longer have access to the code where this issue was occurring, so I can't verify. However, it seems like a good step in the right direction 👍
