It can also take one parameter: `start`, i.e. `length` is omitted, in which case the substring starting from start until the end of the string will be returned. 23 24 To extract characters from the end of the string, use a negative start number. 25 26 In addition, borrowing from the extended behavior described at http://php.net substr, if `length` is given and is negative, that number of characters will be omitted from the end of string. 27 28 ``` 29 {{substr "BatMan" 0 -3}} → "Bat" 30 {{substr "BatMan" 3 3}} → "Man" 31 ```
