@upssjw Can you re-share the project? It looks like you might have removed it already 😭

not learnt anything, just messing with layouts, I have a small piece a code, very basic, in for Float never added controls as it was just concept to see how it work with CMS images and typography

I am trying to get to a template, I think is good for my site, not there yet, it wouldn’t be this colourful

you can just turn all into a plain site eg surface 200 surface 900 colours

I will leave up for a few hours, I have no room especially videos

Thanks.

Something for your `twig etc.html`:

```auto
{{ item.body|striptags|split(' ')|slice(0, 32)|join(' ') ~ ' ...' }}

```

This is to show the first 32 Words and `striptags` remove any html-tags. The inital idea is from @Pegasus

@dan Is this something for documentation?

Will add it now!

**Edit:** Added here - [Twig | CMS | RapidWeaver Elements Docs](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/cms/cms/twig)

Let me know if you have another other examples that would be useful for Twig and I’ll add them 😉
