I don’t think what you’re looking for is even possible in general:
you’d need to first parse the entire HTML string, find “15 characters”
and then put the formatting back on. That’s not even including the
possibility of devious stuff like this:
A string with hidden bits.
The first 15 visible characters here are “A string with .”, but
unless you’re parsing the CSS as well, you’d end up producing “A
string with h”.
Finally, fixed character truncation can be tricky; does the client
really want to see “Foo B. Baz Association” truncated to 15
characters?
