Overflow
Configure how text overflow is handled in table cells.
Novem is currently in closed alpha. This documentation is incomplete and subject to change.
By default novem tries to assign width according to column content, however sometimes there just isn't enough space. When that occurs one of two things can happen:
- Ellipsis
e- the substitution of the excess content with ellipsis... - Truncation
t- the removal of the excess content - Wrap
w- the splitting of content across multiple lines - Overflow
o- have the content spill across to the other cells
The default behaviour is e (ellipsis) on overflow.
: : e -- the default overflow strategy
Truncation simply cuts off the words with no further indication to the user that information is missing. However, unlike ellipsis, words are never partially truncated but removed in full. The only exception is if there is only one word, in which case it will overflow.
: : t -- truncate the entire table
Wrapping allows the text to continue to wrap onto the next line expanding the row until it shows all the text
: : w -- wrap the entire table
The default behaviour is e (ellipsis) on overflow.
: 0 w -- wrap all rows the first column
: 1: t -- truncate the rest of the table
