object. char limit

[Matth]

Is there a simple way to limit the chars on object.variable output?
here is the code...

# templatetag #
from django import template
from aatg.testimonial.models import Testimonial

register = template.Library()

import random
def random_testimonial():
        return {'object': Testimonial.objects.get(id=random.randint(1,
Testimonial.objects.count()))}
register.inclusion_tag('testimonial.html')(random_testimonial)

# template #
<p>{{ object.quote }}&hellip;</p>
<p>{{ object.first_name }}&nbsp;
      {{ object.last_name }}<br />
<em>{{ object.title }}</em><br />
<strong>{{ object.company }}</strong></p>

I would like to limit {{ testimonial.quote }} to 200 characters. Is it
possible to do it in the template with a split()?

Thanks Matt
