$hometext = $myts->displayTarea(substr($myrow['hometext'], 1, ($options[3] - 1), 1 ))."...";

you might want to try "xf_newsmod_blocks"

I found that i had to edit the "news_all.php" block to make it display the text and html the way i wanted it to.

NOTE: this will only affect the display if you opt to limit the amount of characters of the hometext to display.
also, i did this a while ago, and as far as i can remember, this is all that i changed, so with this in mind, keep a backup......

hope that helps.
