How to wrap link which is too long
Jeff
When a link, for example, http://aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee/fff/ggg, is too
long to be displayed in one line, TW can not auto wrap it. The link
will extend out of the boundary of the tiddler.
How can I solve it?
Appreciate any suggestion.

Technically, it's not TiddlyWiki that can't wrap it, it's the browser
(there's no cue for it where to insert a line break).
The obvious solution would be to assign a label:
[[label|URL]]
(One could imagine a plugin that automatically assigns a label to
excessively long URLs, shortening the URL by leaving out the middle
portion: "http://aaa/[...]/ggg".)
Alternatively, try adding this to your StyleSheet:
.tiddler {
overflow: auto;
}
This will display a horizontal scrollbar if the contents extend beyond
the respective container's width.
Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work on Internet Explorer 6.0.
HTH.

I had to give it a shot; see this thread (ShortURLPlugin):
