Hi laurent,
Have you tried with wash() operator?
{$node.object.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text|wash( xhtml )|shorten( 50 )}

Hi Laurent,
You should strip the tags if you want to use the shorten tag with XML content. Some info on how to do so can be found here:http://www.ez.no/community/forum/developer/operator_to_strip_off_html_tags

Hi Bård,
That's what I did previously. I override template.ini in the override directory.template.ini.append.php :
<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"? PHPOperatorList[] PHPOperatorList[striptags]=strip_tags */ ?>
and add in mysite/override/templates/listitem/article.tpl
<div class="attribute-short"> {$node.object.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text|striptags|shorten( 50 )} </div>
It works fine but without formatting text or image in the shorten string.

in fact with this code
{$node.object.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text|striptags|shorten( 50 )}
it cut the string but preserve formatters:
<div class="attribute-short"> <p> Le projet de réaménagement du club house p... </div>
What I understand that the |wash operator render the <p> tag as text but didn't remove it.

Laurent,
if you have XML text it's hard to convert it to a limited number of characters without removing the formatting. So you should just use the strip tags followed by a shorten operator. Formatting and images will be gone, just the plain text is left.
You are correct, the wash() operator does only convert HTML specific characters like <, > and & to > and so on.
