Filter to add zero-width space to break up long words

If you have long words (no spaces) that are so long that it's messing up your design, add a 0-width space in the word every X chars. Usage: Step 1. Inside your app's directory, create dir called 'templatetags'. In that directory, create a .py file (say 'app_extras.py'). Make sure you make this a python module, make an empty the init .py (with the 2 underscores on each side). Step 2. Inside template (make sure app is on INSTALLED_APPS list in settings.py): {% load app_extras %} Step 3. Enjoy! {{ some_long_word_with_no_breaks|zerowidthspace_separator:25 }}

wordbreak filter

usage: {{ object.content|wordbreak:"10" }} This means if any word is 10 characters or longer, a `­` will be placed every 10 characters. This is to break long words which may break the appearance of a page. The output of this is HTML safe as the content has been conditionally escaped.
