Title: Line Wrapping in HTML
Hello, All --
(TiBook, 15"/1Ghz/1GB/60MB, OS 10.3.5, Ent 2004 11.1.0)
This has bothered me for quite awhile, first in Ent X, and now, having
recently installed Ent 2004, I see the problem is still there:
When typing a new message in plain text, Ent wraps lines at 76 characters --
correct and fine.
However, in order to have all menu items visible in the message window, I
have my new message window set by default to open at a size considerably
wider than 76 plain text characters, and I send my business email messages
in HTML (using Geneva 12 as my default font), primarily in order to include
a signature with some colored text and a small corp. logo at the bottom, and
therein lies my problem.
HTML text does not line-wrap at all, but rather runs to the end of whatever
size I have set the message window, so in order to prevent it from arriving
at the other end with incorrect/mangled line wraps (especially when sending
price quotations and other items in outline form with headings,
sub-headings, indents, etc.).
Currently the only solution that I know of is to select an HTML line or
paragraph, and use Auto Text Cleanup->Rewrap Paragraphs from the Contextual
Menu which will then wrap the HTML to the same width as the 76 character
plain text line wrap. The problem with that is , with outline style emails
that include sub headings, indents, etc., I have to do it line-by-line or
paragraph-by-paragraph, to prevent the line wrap from running all the sub
headings together, deleting the indents, deleting line spacing, etc, etc.
What I would like to see is a way to line wrap an entire HTML message in one
step, while preserving all heading/sub-heading indents, line spacing, etc.
Is there some other way to do this that I have missed, and/or is this
something others would also like to see, and that we could request for an
future release (on this message, I can select all and do it because there
are no indented sub-headings, but even then, if I include my sign-off below
in the selection, it converts those two lines of text to a single line, and
that's exactly what happens with indented outline sub-headings, etc., thus
the problem....)??
Thanks,
George Arellano
