Sorry for my mistake, I wrote 'a' to test the code, if it's wrong I
hope it will report a error.
The corrected is here:
<div><a href="#">{{ people.name|cut_by_string:"10" }}</a></div>
I run the code in the shell, it report right result to me, but I don't
know why it's not apply effect in the web page.
$ ./manage.py shell
