<![CDATA[Text in Blocks]]>Hi everybody,

Is there a simple way to align text justified in blocks form like this :
text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text 
To avoid to have text displayed like this :
text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text.
Thanx.
Matt

I finally manually did it.
The two solutions of @DusX look very nice but a bit out of my skills...
Best.

You could send the text as a string... and process the request via a server script.

Are you manually writing the text, loading it from a tcp-ip request, is it entered once and never again changed etc..

If its very dynamic a Javascript solution would be the best option I think.
If you are entering it once. You are probably best to manually format it.
Using the 'bounds width' does give you are control over wrapping, which will make for nice columns if all entries are the same length.

The text is generated with a text draw.
When you say "Format the text with linebreaks after X words."  Do you mean that I can do that with an Isadora object?
The "bounds width" entry in the TextDraw object produce almost what I want but not if I copy and paste a block of text in it.
In the meantime, I'll try @Marci 's Java solution.
Thanx a lot to you both for your answer.
Cheers.

----------
function main() {
  var result = '', str = arguments[0];
  while (str.length > 0) {
    result += str.substring(0, 200) + '\n';
    str = str.substring(200);
  }
  return result;
}

function main() {
  var result = '';
  while (arguments[0].length > 0) {
    result += str.substring(0, 200) + '\n';
    str = str.substring(200);
  }
  return result;
}

How is the text being generated?
