"Wrap Long Lines" Solution

[wiziwish]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a extension that will automatically place <br> in long lines according to a width I specifiy.

I'm not looking for a table or div. I want the extension to put a <br> at the desired text width.

Basically I'm looking for something to do in dreamweaver what this site does:

Does anything like this exist?

Thanks

I'm not aware of such an extension, but you can do something similar with Find and Replace (assuming that the content is "pure" text, that is without html tags within the text).

1. Select the text you want to work with.

2. Open the Find and Replace dialog (CTRL+F).

3. Choose "Selected Text" in the "Find in" list

4. In "Find" enter (change 10 to whatever number you want to break after):

([\w\W]{10})

5. In "Replace" enter:

$1<br />

6. At the end of the replace text, hit SHIFT+Enter if you want to have a acual line break inserted after the BR tag

7. Check the "Use Regular Expression"  box.

8. Click the "Replace All" button.
