[mapserver-users] Map file, Label WRAP Function in mapbook removes character it is wrapping on.

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Carrie,

I'm not aware of a way to get that in a label, without some 
pre-processing of your data field.  I do remember however a long ago 
discussion about adding this feature into MapServer, which was never 
implemented - I bet when you read this discussion you will say in your 
head (yelling) "that is exactly what I need!" ha.
