Excerpt/Truncate plugin

[harrygr]

It would be great to have a plugin that can truncate a markdown document to produce an excerpt which inteligently truncates the document close to the desired number of characters.

E.g say I have the following document

first line

the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog

such a plugin used like excerpt({chars: 25}) might result in

<p>first line</p>
<p>the quick bro...</p>

There is already the remark-excerpt plugin but this requires there to be an excerpt identifier present (e.g. <!-- excerpt -->). I haven't seen anything that can inteligently produce the excerpt.

Been a while but rehype-infer-description-meta should cover this. See also hast-util-excerpt and hast-util-truncate!
