[Typo3] TMENU wrapping problem

[Adrien Driver]

Hi Georg

Thank you very much for the quick fix.  Had everything up and running 
properly in less than an hour :-))  I had initially worried about how to 
incorporate the suggested changes into my Typo3 templates but your quick 
fix helped me.  Now I have dynamic menus which word wrap correctly.

Cheers

Adrien

PS.  For Robert: the extra > in the code is there to actually display 
the > character.  It is part of the design requirements for the menu set 
by Monash (can't change)
