I have a similar problem with maxtextlengths and I do have the "represent"
attribute set like so:
Field('f_last_change', type='text',
label=T('Latest Changes'),
default = '',
represent=lambda text, row: HTML(XML('' if text is
None else text.replace('\n', '<br />')), sanitize=True,
permitted_tags=['br/'])
)
Any suggestions how to keep the formatting, but still have field
truncated? Thanks!!!
