This node shortens text by cutting it off at a specified maximum length. It takes any input text and returns only the first part, up to the number of characters you set. It is a simple way to ensure text does not exceed a certain size.

## Inputs

| `max_length` | INT       | No       | 1 to 10000 | Maximum text length. The text will be cut off after this many characters (default: 77). |
