Feature request: max lines

[jadell]

It would be great to configure how many lines of text to show, if there are newlines in the text.

For example, if the total content length is less than the showChars, but there are newlines and I only want to see the first line, then a more link to show the remaining lines.

+1, a use case is when list (of features / functionality) is used for articles in a webshop and only a certain amount of lines should be displayed by default, lets say '10'.

You can simply directly edit the source code of the https://github.com/viralpatel/jquery.shorten/blob/master/src/jquery.shorten.js file using the GitHub website (use the 'pencil' icon).

When saving the file, GitHub will automatically fork (create a copy) of the code to your account and open a Pull Request to the original author.

When the autor accepts your Pull Request, your changes will be merged into the master branch.

dear holtkamp
thank u for help, I committed my code smoothly ~

Ok, nice.

The thing you missed to do is create a Pull Request, that way you ask the maintainer of the library to adopt your code in his branch.

I did that for you now: #21
