[reportlab-users] Long word in paragraph in table cell

[Simon Metson]

Hello,
	I'm writing a document using Reportlab, and so far so good. However,  
I have a table, whose contents are paragraphs (though there's no need  
for them to be). The contents of some of the table cells will be long  
strings without spaces, strings longer than the width of the cell.  
I'd like a way to automatically split the string, at the width of the  
cell minus any padding. Is there a way to do this? I thought I might  
be able to wrap the Paragraph, but I can't see how. I could set  
keepInFrame = shrink, but there's a good chance the strings would  
become unreadable.

A sample bit of code would be:

data = [
[Paragraph 
("Averyveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryv 
eryverylongstringindeed", style["TableHeader"]),
Paragraph("Thing", style["TableHeader"])]
         ]

t = Table(data,
            colWidths=((A4[0])/8 ,A4[0]/8),
            style=[('BACKGROUND',(0,0),(-1, 0),'#dddddd'),
              ('INNERGRID', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.grey),
              ('BOX', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.5, colors.black),
              ('VALIGN', (0,0), (-1,-1),'MIDDLE')])


Thanks for any help or advice,
Simon
