I am looking into the same problem, when I add $Content.LimitWordCount(30)
it removes the strong tag and leaves the asterix's around the text. Removing the limit, and leaving content makes it display correctly.This is the article I can find on variables, all have the same affect.

FireMe! any further to finding a solution to this problem?
I have been trawling through the forums, and found questions regarding this for both styles and images but I can't find a solution.
why isn't articlepage bringing through any of the styles? or formatting?

I found these posts regarding the issue, it seems that the html is being stripped out leaving the asterisks:

Well so far the best I have found is to use:
$Content.Summary(60)
which is removing the asterisks, but also removing all the Html formatting. Does anybody have an answer on how to show a portion of the content without losing the formatting?

Well, the problem with cutting the html is, that you might cut your content in between opening and closing tags.
Something like:
Lorem ipsum <strong>dolor sit amet, consectetur</strong> adipiscing elit.
Might end up like this:
Lorem ipsum <strong>dolor sit amet
or like this:
Lorem ipsum <strong>dolor sit amet, consectetur</st
which is even worse. You'll end up with invalid html code in either of these scenarios.This is quite a tricky problem, and converting to plain text is by far the easiest solution. If you find a good algorithm to limit the character or word count of html code, without generating invalid html, then you could implement your own text-parser: http://api.silverstripe.com/default/TextParser.html

I am not sure how I would implement a text parser. Is there any examples?
I have been looking at the blog module, looking at the code could I use something from here to pull a limited text.
How about the following? could it be adapted?/**
* Get a bbcode parsed summary of the blog entry
*/
function ParagraphSummary(){
if(self::$allow_wysiwyg_editing) {
return $this->obj('Content')->FirstParagraph('html');
} else {
$parser = new BBCodeParser($this->Content);
$html = new HTMLText('Content');
$html->setValue($parser->parse());
return $html->FirstParagraph('html');
}
}unfortunately this is just returning the whole text with code.
Is there a simple answer to this, I need to use this a lot in the site I am building.
