[css-overflow] shrink text

[Array23]

Basicaly if text won't fill in, the text would be choped, to it's maximum fittable characters
option 1: preserve words... text would end up not trimming in middle of word, but in by words
option 2: string it would end by...

so
overflow: chop; chop: <words || characters>, <'...'>
so..
... is the string it would end up inner text by

We already have text-overflow in css-ui-3 that does something similar, but line by line, instead of the whole paragraph.

For the whole paragraph, this is something we're aware of, and have started working on, but it is actually a surprisingly difficult problem. Have a look at css overflow 4, starting at Fragmentation of overflow and everything below, for the project that might eventually end up delivering this.

I expect this will happen eventually, but don't hold your breath.

Pagination is important issue, I would take that Opera's approach more seriously.
I could take advantage of my ASCII fetish in character breaking...
It would make printing of ASCII posters more native...
Looks good. I will take deeper look in a month or so, keeping it on to-do list.

This is now being worked out in #390 and css-overflow-3.
