Column Width

Is there a way to set the column width, via the Query?
I have a variable called $list$ and it has like 100 items separated by space. I want to make sure, I either make the column width very small like 5 chars wide, so that the list gets wrapped down..

I have gone through the list, and I get a general impression that we can tweak the css , conf etc in the server to get the table look like how we want.. Unfortunately I don't have access to the servers.

I would have liked to have some sort of table formatting attributes to the table. something like table colwidth=5 or some such thing. I hope Spunk extends the table functionality in the future versions…

ANy work arounds?

As a very basic, but query-only workaround you could expand your results by that list, yielding one result for every item - giving you one table row per item, neatly wrapped all the way to the bottom.

Take a look at this example:

| stats c | eval f = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

Imagine you'd like to wrap f on spaces. Append this to expand f:

 | makemv delim=" " f | mvexpand f
