Hello all!
I've tried to fit wide table (with paragraphs and vertical lines) into
page width. Following example don't work as expected:
\SetTableToWidth{\textwidth}
\starttable[|p|p|]
\HL
\VL foo foo foo foo foo foo \VL bar bar bar bar bar bar \VL\AR
\HL
\stoptable
Text in columns formatted as if table was not widened. What did I miss here?
BTW, how to fit text into a small box if I don't care about where word
breaks?
Thanks.

table is not that clever -)
\SetTableToWidth{\textwidth}
\starttable[|p(.45\textwidth)|p(.45\textwidth)|]
\HL
\VL foo foo foo foo foo foo \VL bar bar bar bar bar bar \VL\AR
\HL
\stoptable
\stoptext

Thanks. Now it works like expected.

Something like this:

Originally I wanted this in table headers and such things.

only for stupid text:
\def\HowStrange#1{#1\ifx#1\blankspace\else\allowbreak\fi}
\framed
[width=2cm,align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}]
{\handletokens There are some rather long titles that needs to be
typeset.\with\HowStrange}
you're not serious about this are you?
anyhow, a wikiable example

I'm curious as well. What is this for?

A similar problem&solution, for verbatim text, is already in the wiki:

actually, this years pragma new-year card uses something like this but a
bit more advanced (you've seen it -)

It can be used in small cards or something like that.
I've tried to fit wide table in a narrow paper. I was making electronic
version of printed document and can assure you that original design was
even more strange (to my tastes of course).

I'll look into it a little later.

Well maybe I should give this a try too ;-).
