The "str-split-to-words" template from FXSL can be used to achieve this.

I am attempting to use logic to determine the length of an attribute, but I'm
unable to find anything useful enough to work.
If I have the following:
<CAT NAM="This attribute is meant to be so extremely long that I must force
it into multiple cells on a web page"/>
What I want to do is take the NAM attribute, and put the first 35 characters
into a cell. Directly below it, I want to generate another cell with two
spaces followed by the next 33 characters. I want to generate a new cell
directly below the previous one, every 33 characters after the initial 35,
and each should have two spaces in front. This basic logic would produce the
following:
This attribute is meant to be so ex
tremely long that I must force it
into multiple cells on a web page
The tricky part is, once I count to 35 characters (or 33 depending on if it
is the first cell or not), I need to verify the data is being separated at a
space. In the previous example, the word "extremely" is not separated
smoothly. The final result should actually be:
This attribute is meant to be so
extremely long that I must force
it into multiple cells on a web
page
How can I use logic to not only determine the length of the attribute, but
depending upon that length, separate the data out into multiple cells on a
web page?
