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 }}

WordWrap template tag

Basically a clone of the default "wrap" filter. I use it to generate plaintext e-mail that has to be broken at 75 characters. {% wordwrap 80 %} Some text here, including other template tags, includes, etc. {% endwordwrap %} I prefer this over the {% filter wordwrap:80 %} as my template (e-mail) writers keep screwing it up.
