Hi,
to get an xml block attribute raw content, use this:

 {$node.data_map.name_of_your_attribute.content.output.output_text}

and the shorten operator Returns a shortened version of the input string.

 shorten()

try this in your case:

 {$node.data_map.name_of_your_attribute.content.output.output_text|shorten(250)}

check the technical manual for more information about the shorten operator.

i think this can help you.

The theory is when we know everything and nothing works.
The practice is when everything works and nobody knows why.
If the practice and theory are met, nothing works and we do not know why.

Be careful usign shorten with xml block attributes. It may happens that maybe the last 5 of the 250 characters are something like

<b>te

and because of that you can get all the rest of your page in bold... use strip_tags for avoid this.
