I'm loving this Table Primitive, but I have some lines that are overflowing past the edge of my terminal.

I'd love to be able to toggle text wrapping, if there's a way to do it.

No, Table uses one line for a cell (plus the grid lines if you have them turned on). You can have multi-line text in Grids but it's functionality will be different from a Table.

Note that generally, tview lays out its contents top-down so even Grid will have no knowledge of how many lines its elements occupy. So it's different from how browsers lay out their elements. It's less "automatic".
