11 months ago The tables are rendered by Obsidian. This plugin simply assists editing the tables. So the issue is best handled by a change in Obsidian.
In the meantime, the user can manually insert line breaks using HTML BR tags. See comment on Issue 215.
It might be possible and desirable for this plugin to have a new feature where it could add BR tags to hard wrap the text in a cell to a specified maximum width. Click the Hard Wrap button, and the user is presented with a dialog to set the maximum width. If there are BR tags, clicking the Hard Wrap button would remove them.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I find it quite annoying when I type relatively large amounts of text in a table. Currently, this causes the table to expand past the margins, causing much of the text to be obscured (sometimes even after hiding the sidebars)
Describe the solution you'd like Allow text wrapping (like how the text wraps when rendered in markdown) or at least replacement of inactive text with ellipsis.
Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried editing the text outside of the table and then pasting it in, although this is sometimes inconvenient
