Tbl _can_ be instructed to wrap lines when needed by changing the input to this: *** T{ 1873. T} T{ Livingstone discovers Lake Moero. T} T{ 1874-75. T} T{ Lieut. Cameron crosses equatorial Africa. T} T{ 1875-94. T} T{ Élisée Reclus publishes his _Géographie Universelle_. T} ***
According to my tests it works suprisingly well. Sometimes Tbl does wrap too eagerly, but I saw nothing that wasn't acceptable.
Marcello (or anyone with some authority on PGTEI), I can try and come up with a patch for tei2nroff-common.xsl, if that's wished for. Let me know.
The new forthcoming version 0.3 of the PGTEI converter already does this. (with a little help from the markup: you have to manually specify the width of the column.) -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
