Initials Formatter

The initials formatter takes as a parameter any string and gets the first letter of each word. This can be used for getting initials from a name to be used in an avatar icon. The only restriction is that the Avatar control supports up to two letters inside the control.

format.initials(value, length?)

Note: If length is 2, first and last initial of a name will be shown.
