Hello everybody,

I would like to customize the Tapestry grid 
(org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Grid) to make it change the content 
originally provided in the source parameter, so that the modified content is 
rendered in the grid instead of the original.

As an example, I could make the grid abbreviate certain strings in a certain 
way for columns that contain text, so that the abbreviated text is shown 
instead of the original. This should be independent from the specific data 
source provided by the specific page that is using the grid: any grid from any 
page should render its content as abbreviated.

I seem to see in the Grid code several options to try in order to figure out 
how to implement this functionality, however before starting making changes I'd 
like to know if there is a recommended, Tapestry-friendly approach. And of 
course any related comment or suggestion is always welcome.

Thanks in advance
