10624	[patch] cut off text longer than  Excel cell restrictions	jholg	jun66j5	"Excel has a limit of 32767 characters for cells.

This patch allows for configurable setting of a max. number of characters for (text) fields, defaulting the Excel limit of 32767. 

When cutting off text an ellipsis string gets added to the end of the cut-off string to mark that the string has been truncated. The default ellipsis is ""[...]"".

trac.ini example:
{{{
[exceldownload]
# Example: Set another ellipsis string (default: ellipsis = [...])
ellipsis = .....
# Example: unset limits (default: max_text_size = 32767)
max_text_size = 0
}}}

'''Note''': Patch diff has been generated from ExcelDownloadPlugin patched with the (somewhat related) [attachment:ticket:10623:exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff  exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff] as proposed in #10623.

So ideally [attachment:ticket:10623:exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff  exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff] should be applied first and then this patch afterwards ;-). Apart from that I guess it's trivial enough to do manually, if interested.
