 This in functions.php doesn't work, the string returns non-decoded quotes
 like &#8220, for example.
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function get_title(){
    $title = wp_specialchars_decode(get_the_title(), ENT_QUOTES);
    $caracteres = strlen($title);
    $max = 73;
 if ($caracteres <= $max){
     return $title;
 }
 else {
     $title = substr($title, 0, $max);
     $title = $title.'...';
     return $title;      }
 }
 }}}
