Thanks gang! |

I may need to be corrected on this but i don't think that you can wrap text in a list - otherwise it wouldn't work as a list, if you think about it, because in a list, each line represents an entry...how then could it be wrapped and still represent an entry?!?!?
May be someone who knows for sure can answer,
Serge

While there isn't a "WRAP" style for lists, you can
insert carriage returns and line feeds in a string
before putting it in a list (which basically does the
same thing). Here's a rough example:

You can make a repeat loop that checks for the lenghts of lines, and breaks them of at, for example, 100 characters...
I've made this code at school, so I haven't tested it...
| Code: | %%wrap = 100
%%text = @text(1)
list close,1
list create,1
repeat
list add,1,@substr(%%text,@prod(%%wrap,%z),@fadd(@prod(%%wrap,%z),%%wrap))
%z = @succ(%z)
until @greater(@prod(%%wrap,%z),@len(%%text1))
info This is the new text: @cr()@text(1) |
Btw. Tommy, can we use the VDS tag already?
