Setting max-length/width for <pre> element

[Twizz]

Hi,

I need to fit text from a database in a <TD> element and I want to keep the width fixed. Since the text is user submitted I want to present it as close to the original as possble without destroying the table. I decided <pre> was the way to go but this destroys the layout if lines are to long.

So, I want to keep the text as is but force linebreaks. The allowed max width is 750.

Is ther anyway to do this?

Thanks in advance.

you can give with the td width

<td width=25%> like that
