Quick Questions

Is there a perch conditional for if something doesn't exist?

Is there a perch conditional for elseif?

Is there a way to limit the number of characters returned from a content region? Either to limit the number of characters that can be entered, or to truncate the returned content (say for Perch Content Custom?)
