Description
Code Sample
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(data={
'test': ['abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'aaaabbbbbbccccccddddddeeeeefffff'],
})
pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', 10)
df.to_html(escape=False, notebook=False)Problem description
While we are working on issue #9690 and trying to reproduce the bug we found what could be a possible bug, when using pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', 10), we expect df.to_html(escape=False, notebook=False) to show truncated values, but this does not occurs.
We already know that when using notebook=True the truncating occurs, but in our mind that to should working too when notebook=False. Should this be this way?
Output
'<table border="1" class="dataframe">\n <thead>\n <tr style="text-align: right;">\n <th></th>\n <th>test</th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <th>0</th>\n <td>abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <th>1</th>\n <td>aaaabbbbbbccccccddddddeeeeefffff</td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>'
