It makes a string fit into a required length by replacing part of it in the middle with an ellipsis:

require 'ellipsized'
puts 'Hello, dear world!'.ellipsized(16)

Prints:

Hello, ...world!

You can also specify what to use to fill the gap:

puts 'How are you doing?'.ellipsized(14, '.. skip ..')

Prints:

Ho.. skip ..g?

You can also specify alignment:

puts 'How are you doing?'.ellipsized(14, '.. skip ..', :left)

Prints:

.. skip ..ing?

That's it.
