Since Go templates are HTML-aware, `truncate` will intelligently handle normal strings vs HTML strings:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
{{ "<em>Keep my HTML</em>" | safeHTML | truncate 10 }}` → <em>Keep my …</em>`
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{{% note %}}
 | 
						|
If you have a raw string that contains HTML tags you want to remain treated as HTML, you will need to convert the string to HTML using the [`safeHTML` template function](/functions/safehtml) before sending the value to truncate. Otherwise, the HTML tags will be escaped when passed through the `truncate` function.
