[reportlab-users] Unconditionally split a string at the end of a cell.

[Martin Weissenboeck]

Hi,

I have a paragraph like

p = Paragraph('ABCDEFG',styleN)


The string does not contain any spaces.
This paragraph becomes part of a table. Width of the column is (e.g.) 5*mm.
I expected the text to be broken in some lines. But there is always one
line.

I have tried to use the function simpleSplit

p5 = simpleSplit('1ABCDEFG', 'ArialNarrow', 9.0, 5*mm)


but without spaces the result is again only one string.

Paragraph(...).breakLinesCJK(5*mm) splits the line, but it seems to be
complicated to put the parts into the table.

I think there should be a simple way to unconditionally split a string at
the end of a cell.
Any ideas?

Martin
