Document Lengths

[walshbr]

Got a question from a user just now about max lengths for documents in prism. Any idea where this is set? I can't find anywhere in the code, but I know it's set somewhere. The question was tied into a followup question, which was "can the length of documents be changed?" My sense was yes, if we had someone ask for it. Thoughts?

Looks like there is a character limit of 65525 imposed within the tag. That number comes inclusive of the tags. Not sure where that's coming from - might be a default limit on the database field? Found that number by comparing two different texts that were too long:

The last tag as it exists in each example. Cut off mid-span creation:

1. <span
2. <span class
