Question: wrap text in list box

Is it possible to wrap the text in a list box if it's too long?

The standard HTML textbox does not support this functionality.
You may be able to fake one of your own with some fancy javascript but it
wouldn't be trivial.

Once in a while, I get bitten by the fact, that mutating list methods such as 'append' or 'extend' return None instead of the (mutated) list itself. Is there a compelling reason for that? I googled around, but didn't find anything about this. Thanks Stephan

Using a list box to display a text file, I am having to adjust the length of the lines to fit the list box, (1) is there a way around this? (2) Can one use rtf files with a list box, does that have coding consequences when using the list box, if so which? Many thanks. -- Regards, Patrick.
