Subject: Re: [xsl] Contents overflow in table cell ? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 08:11:23 -0500 |
My problem is that I got entries that overflow the regions of the columns in the table and therefore overlap the other column.
The substring-function is not suitable, because it cannot really control the length of the contents (fonts and characters have a different width, so limiting the string to xx-characters makes no sense).
Is there a way of cuttting of the text at the end of the cell?
<table-cell> <block>Example with a lot of text that is specified to wrap in order to illustrate behaviour</block> </table-cell> <table-cell> <block-container overflow="hidden"> <block white-space="nowrap">Example with a lot of text that is specified not to wrap in order to illustrate clipping</block> </block-container> </table-cell>
Is there a way of cuttting of the text after xx-cm?
Is there a better approach?
