Well, you can limit the amount of text using substring.
ie
<xsl:template match="item" mode="summary">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,1,50)" />
</xsl:template>
would give you the first fifty characters of the result of calling
value-of on item.
Hard to tell from the info if that would be adequate.
