Auto cut-tagging achieved

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Yeah, I haven't found a useful way around that. Without parsing for context, the message will appear in whatever html context it interrupts, which could be confusing.
