Wrap Text in HTML

Hi Community,

 

The script below creates a journal with wrapped text. However, when I save this as an HTML file, the text is no longer wrapped. How can I maintain formatting from the journal to an HTML file?

 

	win= New Window("Metrics",
		<<journal,
		hlb = H List Box(
			 Spacer Box(size(400,1000)),
			 V List Box( Spacer Box(size(10,10)), cb = H Center Box(), Spacer Box()  ), 		  
			 Spacer Box(size(400,1000))		  	
		 )
	);
	
	cb<<append(tb1=text box("Metrics Generated "||char(format(today(),"m/d/y"))));
	tb1<<set font size(28)<< Justify Text( "Center" )<<set wrap width(1000);

	current Journal()<<save html();

windows, 16.2 appears to break the text in the same locations. I used different font sizes and different pixel lengths for the wrap point for a quick test.

The centering is wrong, but the wrapping seems to work.

You can force line breaks with \!n (an escaped newline in a JSL string).

Re: Wrap Text in HTML

Using interactive html here will work better than static html.

This can be done by changing the last line in the script to 

current Journal()<<save Interactive html();
