All internal tags are stripped out - the return value is a string Create a summary of the content. This will be some section of the first paragraph, limited by $maxWords. All internal tags are stripped out - the return value is a string This is sort of the HTML aware equivilent to Text#Summary, although the logic for summarising is not exactly the same Parameters `$maxWords` int $maxWords Maximum number of words to return - may return less, but never more. Pass -1 for no limit `$flex` int $flex Number of words to search through when looking for a nice cut point `$add` string $add What to add to the end of the summary if we cut at a less-than-ideal cut point Returns `string` A nice(ish) summary with no html tags (but possibly still some html entities) See sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Text#Summary($maxWords) Overrides `Text::Summary`
`public`	# `FirstSentence( )` Returns the first sentence from the first paragraph. If it can't figure out what the first paragraph is (or there isn't one) it returns the same as Summary() Returns the first sentence from the first paragraph.

`public string`	# `forTemplate( )` Returns `string` string Overrides `DBField::forTemplate`
`public boolean`	# `hasValue( )` (non-PHPdoc) (non-PHPdoc) Returns `boolean` boolean See core/model/fieldtypes/DBField#hasValue() Overrides `StringField::hasValue`
`public FormField`	# `scaffoldFormField( string $title = null, mixed $params = null )` (non-PHPdoc) (non-PHPdoc) Parameters `$title` string $title Optional. Localized title of the generated instance `$params` Returns `FormField` FormField See `DBField::scaffoldFormField()` Overrides `Text::scaffoldFormField`
`public FormField`	# `scaffoldSearchField( string $title = null )` (non-PHPdoc) (non-PHPdoc) Parameters `$title` string $title Optional. Localized title of the generated instance Returns `FormField` FormField See `DBField::scaffoldSearchField()` Overrides `Text::scaffoldSearchField`
