Overflow

Novem assigns column widths based on content. When content exceeds the available width, choose one of four overflow modes:

• 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

Ellipsis

The default behaviour is e (ellipsis) on overflow.

:   :   e   -- the default overflow strategy

Truncation

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

Wrap

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

Overflow

Use o to let content extend beyond its cell.

:   0   w   -- wrap all rows the first column
:   1:  t   -- truncate the rest of the table
