Line of text examined in the routine. |
Shortened and "ellipsified" value for the specified line of text.
ShortDotsLine is a String function used to generate a shortened and "ellipsified" string for the value in Line.
ShortDotsLine calls Utf8EscapeControlChars to convert any control characters in Line to their representation as a hexadecimal character value.
The value in the MaxTextLen constant is used as the maximum length for the "ellipsified" string value. If the number of UTF-8 codepoints in the line is larger than the value in MaxTextLen, the string is shortened to the maximum length and 3 (three) Period ('.') characters are appended to the return value.
