Hello folks

Is there a way to limit the length of transformed content from source
text nodes via XSLT?

Well, you can limit the amount of text using substring.

ie

<xsl:template match="item" mode="summary">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,1,50)" />
</xsl:template>

would give you the first fifty characters of the result of calling
value-of on item.

Hard to tell from the info if that would be adequate.
