[news.eclipse.birt] Re: How to avoid line break if data is too long

[Jason Weathersby <jasonweathersby@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Guener,

You need to do two things for HTML.

1 - set fixed layout instead of auto layout in general properties for 
the report.

2 - Apply style to element that has the Text Block whitespace property 
set to no wrapping.


If this is for PDF you will need to use substring like:

dataSetRow["PRODUCTDESCRIPTION"].substr(0, 10);
