For anyone who knows Internet Explore, is there a way to tell it to use
word wrap when it displays txt files? This is an odd question but one of
my supervisors exclusively uses IE and is going to try to force me to
reupload hundreds of archived permissions e-mails as text files to a
repository in
Quick answer, sorry: might require some css

Alternately Notepad ++?
It’s not a crazy question: .txt only wins as a file if people realize it can be
read.

IE through 9 has word-wrap, word-break and white-space CSS properties that
would likely work for you. They need a defined container to work, and the
easiest way is to set your div width to an appropriate percentage.
It is best if you limit their visibility to IE 7-9, and they may generate

I’ve never attempted this, but instead of linking to the text files directly,
can you include the text files in an iframe and leverage that to apply
sizing/styling information to the iframe content?
Something like:
html
body
iframe src=“/path/to/file.txt”/iframe
/body
/html
That structure,
Thanks for the insights. I was really hoping IE had a setting. The
problem is that these are txt files with copies of the permissions e-mails
for our institutional repository that we store in the backend of the record
in DSpace. So I do not know that I can edit the HTML to make them display
You could encode it quotable-printable or mess with content disposition

But using these hacks or others mentioned on your data to accommodate this
use case doesn't strike me a great idea since solutions like this don't age
well.
You might suggest to your supervisor to right click
In IE 11, at least, when you view source on a text file, you get a window
that has the option of turning word wrap on or off. I think it's probably
embedding notepad or wordpad's viewing capabilities.

You are right, if they need to display the actual text file. With Drupal or PHP
and some .htaccess magic, we read the text file, then display it as formatted
html, with the name shown as the text file name. That is what I had in mind.

Hello,
I'm not sure I completely understand your question. In my library Internet
explorer is a big no no. We haven't had anyone insist on using it. We've even
tried to have out hidden but the IT gods won't upset their Microsoft masters
like that.

The question was mostly if there was an easy in browser fix for word wrap
on txt files displaying in IE. Sadly that does not sound like it is the
case. In this instance it is related to a hire-up who only uses IE for
their browser requesting the files word wrap in their browser or be
converted
My first thought was to create a custom style sheet, but sadly IE
doesn't seem to apply it to plain text files, regardless of the fact
that IE wraps then in HTML. Of course, I've never used a custom style
sheet with IE before, so maybe I did something wrong.
Two other possibilities. Once the
I spoke (figuratively) too soon. The custom style sheet took effect
after I restarted IE.
Create a file called ie.css (or anything you want) and enter the
following code in it.
pre {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
Open IE's Internet Options and in the General tab click the
