: 2. count the characters used in each narrative.
Retrieve the narratives and use len() on them. Probably add some to it to
allow a break between narratives.
: 3. Output the narratives in chuncks of 5000 characters. (or to the
: narratives that come close to 5000) For example
: narrative1=2000 characters
: narrative2= 50 characters
: narrative3=1000 characters
: narrative4=2000 characters
: so the page would only show the first 3 narratives
Since you (apparently) want them to show up in order, look at the first. If
it's length is less than 5000 (I assume it always will be, is this true?),
add it to the 1st page and add its length to the total length of the first
page. Repeat. If the total length of the page will exceed 5000, start a
new page.
: Make sense? doable??
Yes and yes, I think. :-)
