Как вставить строку в HTML-фрагмент

Я не знаю точно, откуда взят этот источник, но я использовал этот фрагмент кода, он превосходен.

/**
* @desc Cut given plain/HTML text nicely
* @param string text to cut
* @param int approximetly length of desired text length
* @param int optional length, how far text can variante from approximetly length
* @param bool optional can we cut words
* @param bool optional do we need to append three dots to the end of cutted text
* @return string cutted text
