Truncating is
impossible to get right all the time. Referendum titles are sometimes more
than one line, so how many lines do you pick? No matter what number you
pick, you'll get it wrong and display too much or too little sometimes. I
suppose we could have a race field "title is first n lines" and have user enter
that. Smells problematic to me, but maybe it would
work.
We have another
issue to address though: Steve's VIBS RCR where he only wants to replay
the referendum title, not the referendum text. There are no "lines"
here. I suppose we could have a "title is first n seconds of audio", but
really that's crazy.
I think its gotta be
two fields. I don't like it, but I don't see any other way to satisfy both
RCRs. We should probably just accept that, code it, and move on, rather
than trying to hack around it.
