    Hello;
    I send long texts into the database via a form which includes text areas. Then I want to get that content in a new file. However, there are very long lines which I can't limit either by table width or another method. I use <pre>...</pre> tags as well in the output file but that works as long as I manually break the lines while the text is still in the form, which is quite impractical as I paste the text into the text area from another source, such as ms-word.

    Is there a method to limit the line length that is retrieved from the database

    You use following codes (with changing your text's width):

    
<pre style="width: 500px; white-space: normal;">
Your text here
</pre>
    Code (markup):
