Re: Help with wordwrap in Table

Hi Amy,

For the total width of the table, you could use the colWidths as an
argument of LongTable to determine the width of each column in the table.
As specified in the reportlab User Guide:

The other arguments are fairly obvious, the colWidths argument is a
sequence of numbers or possibly
None, representing the widths of the columns. The number of elements in
colWidths determines the
number of columns in the table. A value of None means that the
corresponding column width should be
calculated automatically.

For the wordwrap, you will need to convert the different strings in the data
object to Paragraph instances with a style (you already imported the class
and created a styleN, which you are not using :P), and it will
automatically wrap to the specified column width you determined with
colWidths.

Hope this helps
Arnau
