title: ellipsifying the text in a yui datatable
body: <p>hey I'm looking for a good way to ellipsify text in a yui datatable. By that I mean, formatting the text so that it fits nicely into its cell and has an ellipse (...) trailing it if the text had to be truncated. </p>
  
  <p>I want to do this wihtout the use of CSS selectors, because I have a large dataset and selecting each cell by classname would be expensive. </p>
  
  <p>Any good suggestions on how to do this using a formatter or something similar.</p>
