@h @rowan You see it? Any thoughts? The only answers I can find recommend screwing around with tables, and I don;t really like that idea. :/

@h @rowan Alright, here's a pen. acks the profile pic, but I don;t think that really matters. XD

@h @rowan Ah, now thats a good point yes. XD

@rowan @h Oh! Sure, I can do that. Don't even need to render it really, just paste and replace some templating stuff. XD

@rowan @h Paste what in? The hight? I would, but setting a max height just caused the text to overflow down, not to expand sideways. :/

@h @rowan I know it looks complicated, but it's actually pretty simple to work with, at least once you've done all the set up. I just edit the css in Atom and tab over to my browser to watch it update. Hardly have to do anything. :/

@rowan @h If you do want to try and get it running, I'd be willing to try and walk you through it. You will need to install some stuff on your computer, and for both our sakes I hope you're not running windows. XD

@rowan @h Alright, heres the code on git. beware that you're in a branch, not the master, and that actually getting this to run on your computer right now may be of unknown difficulty, bt here it is: https://github.com/Agora-Project/agora-meteor/tree/angle/client/userProfile

@rowan @h Yes! Gimme just a sec to push and I'll link it. XD

@rowan @h ...Possibly? I have no idea what the calc function for that would have to be though. :/

@h @rowan I don't I could create one I'm not sure how easily I could translate my code for tinkering. Probably not be too hard :/

@h Hmm, max height just causes the text to oiverflow the box down. Theres a property to make it grow sideways instead right? :/

@h the trouble is I don't know what the value for those should be. I want to allow the avatar and username column to resize box but not the text. Though maybe I should just slap a max height on the text box and let it be... :/

@rowan@toot.I don't know what those are. XD

@rowan It almost works. I still want it to wrap, but only if it can do so without needing to increase the height. :/

To put things another way, I want to make the div prefer to grow wider rather than taller, instead of the way it is normally, which is taller then wider. :/

@deathmlem No, but I'm not sure what I'd put for those - I'd want to use max height: <another element> which I'm not sure is possible. :/

@elomatreb Not quite that? I just want to limit it from getting any taller than necessary to fit the avatar and display name, and expand horizontally instead. :/

How do I get this thing to switch t's x and y expansion behaviors? I.E. get it to expand vertically only as much as necessary to fit any given element, and expand horizontally to fit the text after that? So that it ends up wider than it is tall. :/
