Maybe we could indicate if there are more than 5 with an ellipsis (...)?

@paf31 Yes, that'd be great

You'll have to be careful not to evaluate the whole list though. Using length will do so, I think, so you'd need a function take5 :: [a] -> ([a], Bool) which matched the first 5 head elements explicitly (lazily).

Or maybe drop 5 and check if the remainder is null?

Yeah, that works. Might want to do it in one pass though. I think there is a function called break or something like that.

Ah yep, splitAt 5 then perhaps? span and break need a predicate.
