Truncation Rules and Links

Truncating Lines and Words

• Wrapping capability is supported the same way on <p>, <a>, or <anchor> tags
• The browser breaks long lines of text into multiple lines. This is equivalent to setting the <p> mode = wrap. The default is to wrap the text.
• Each link associated with <a> and <anchor> WML tags can take up the width of one display line. If the link would display wider than the frame width and <p> mode is nowrap, the link is truncated at the point where it no longer fits in the frame. Links are not wrapped around to the next display line. If <p> mode is set to wrap, the link continues to the adjoining line if labels are long.
• Long words that do not fit on an entire line should be hyphenated.
• URLs cannot be broken into multiple lines.
