    Description
    This module provides some technical features that allow to extract text
from any chunk of HTML, without HTML tags or attributes. You can chose
either:

- To truncate the result by amount of words or characters.
- To append an ellipsis (or any character(s)) at the end of the result.

It can be used to easily generate excerpts.

    • text_from_html(self, html_content, max_words=None, max_chars=None, ellipsis='…', fail=False)
      @api.model
      Extract text from an HTML field in a generator. :param str html_content: HTML contents from where to extract the text. :param int max_words: Maximum amount of words allowed in the resulting string. :param int max_chars: Maximum amount of characters allowed in the resulting string. If you apply this limit, beware that the last word could get cut in an unexpected place. :param str ellipsis: Character(s) to be appended to the end of the resulting string if it gets truncated after applying limits set in :param:`max_words` or :param:`max_chars`. If you want nothing applied, just set an empty string. :param bool fail: If ``True``, exceptions will be raised. Otherwise, an empty string will be returned on failure.
