IE rendering

The big table, Index of CSS topics, renders correctly in FF and Chrome, but pushes off to the right in IE. Image attached.
Comment 1 Eliot Graff 2012-10-10 00:45:27 UTC
From a dev lead on the IE team:

"Turns out it’s a bug in IE; we do not see the forward slash as a linebreak opportunity (where Firefox does), so each link renders as a single word and pushes out the table contents. Chrome is actually similar here – when I checked it last night I was on a Canary build – in the release Chrome they render the same as we do."  

This might be won't fix in that case. HOWEVER, it looks as if there is a text importation problem that is causing the extra lines, which, if we fix, may alleviate this issue in IE and Chrome.

Each of the entries in the autogenerated table should be truncated to the last element of the url path that's brought in. So, for example:

css/cssom/CSSStyleDeclaration/CSSStyleDeclaration
should be 
CSSStyleDeclaration

That, alone, may alleviate the need to extend the table past its normal width.

Yeah, those page listings are temporary. Long term we'll be moving more towards using API_Listing templates, which can use SMW queries to pull out only the "short name" of the article and display that instead.

Should this just be marked as RESOVLED with a resolution of LATER then?
