*A tiny jQuery plugin for truncating multiple lines of text
##How does it work? Succinct shortens your text to a specified size, and then adds an ellipsis to the end.
##Demo Live Demo: http://micjamking.github.io/succinct/
##Usage
Specify the elements that you would like to truncate as a selector, and then set the size parameter to the amount you would like to see.
For example, if you would like to truncate all elements with a specific class, ie. <p class="truncate"> to 120 characters...
<script>
$(function(){
$('.truncate').succinct({
size: 120
});
});
</script>
By default, the plugin truncates text to 240 characters.
