Auto cut-tagging achieved

[learnedax]

Well, that was easy. I've been fiddling a bit with making my friends view block quizlets, which involves a bunch of string parsing that the LJ style language does not already include, and laurion commented that it would be handy to chop entries over a certain length. I realized that I could do that by adding two lines to the basic layout, so now my friends page auto-cuts after 1000 characters. (That number is actually rather smaller than I want for regular use, but works well for demonstration purposes.)

Take that, overlong uncut entries.

You are correct. I hadn't yet added in the special case to deal with different views, so it didn't have the desired behavior for my own entries. The permalink_url provided by LJ's Entry object will point to the page in its native style, so it only had that quirk when the style was mine. I've set it to only cut in friends view now.
