When you have many answer options, the word can break into next line, like this:
|
|
|
|
{% cloudinary '20181031/break-word' 'Part of a word break into next line in LimeSurvey' %}
|
|
|
|
LimeSurvey does this to have consistent column width size across array question. Personally, I prefer not to have word break than fixed width.
|
|
|
|
Here's how to prevent word break.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the main admin page and then Themes.
|
|
|
|
{% cloudinary '20181031/theme-button' 'LimeSurvey theme button in admin panel' %}
|
|
|
|
2. 'Extend' the theme of your choice. Choose a name of the new *extended* theme.
|
|
|
|
{% cloudinary '20181031/theme-list' 'LimeSurvey theme list' %}
|
|
|
|
3. It will redirect you to 'Theme editor' page.
|
|
4. Go to 'custom.css'.
|
|
|
|
{% cloudinary '20181031/custom-css' 'Customise LimeSurvey theme through custom.css' %}
|
|
|
|
5. Paste the following css,
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
table.ls-answers {
|
|
table-layout: auto;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#outerframeContainer {
|
|
word-wrap: normal;
|
|
hyphens: none;
|
|
-moz-hyphens: none;
|
|
-webkit-hyphens: none;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Save it and change to the new theme in your survey.
|
|
|
|
Once the word break is disabled, array answers should look like this,
|
|
|
|
{% cloudinary '20181031/no-break-word' 'No word break in LimeSurvey' %}
|
