Sure:

{city:0,3}

That will do it.

Bingo!

Many thanks

Bingo!

Many thanks

By the way...would by possible do the same with the three or four first words ( no characters ) of a given text?,
what I mean is as follows: let´s say that I´ve the follow text into the caption field:

"A man bites a dog while waiting for the bus"

Is there some way which allows me get  "A man bites a dog" in order to automatically  type it as the Headline?
