+This template returns a certain number of characters from the start of a text string.
 === Usage ===
-: <code>{{Tlx|Str left|<string>|<count>}}</code>
+*'''first parameter''' ''(compulsory)'' the text string to truncate
+*'''second parameter''' the number of characters to return. If invalid or empty, an empty string is returned. If undefined, it defaults to 1.
-Gives the <count> substring of characters from the start of the string (the substring has length <count>).
-If <count> is invalid or empty, an empty string is returned. If undefined, it defaults to 1.
-=== Limitations ===
-* Length to 500: The maximum substring stops at 500 long, yet gives no error message. Only 500 characters can be extracted even if the <string> is longer.
-* Inexpensive (uses no other templates).
-=== Examples ===
+===Examples===
 *<tt><nowiki>{{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | 10 }}</nowiki></tt> &rarr; {{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | 10 }}
 *<tt><nowiki>{{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | 1 }}</nowiki></tt> &rarr; {{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | 1 }}
-*<tt><nowiki>{{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | 0 }}</nowiki></tt> &rarr; {{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | 0 }}
+*<tt><nowiki>{{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | foo }}</nowiki></tt> &rarr; {{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | foo }}
 *<tt><nowiki>{{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | }}</nowiki></tt> &rarr; {{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | }}
 *<tt><nowiki>{{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet }}</nowiki></tt> &rarr; {{Str left| lorem ipsum dolor sit amet }}

-* {{Tl|Trunc|<string>|<count>}} - truncate right-side of string
+Equivalent to [[Template:Trunc]].  One is superior to the other - which?
-* {{Tl|Str right|<string>|<count>}} - extract remainder of string
-* {{Tl|Str rightc|<string>|<count>}} - extract right-side of string
-* {{Tl|Str len|<string>}} - get numeric length of string (can be over 300 long)
