  a line gets too long.  Continuation on the screen does not do that.  Use
  Auto Fill mode (@pxref{Filling}) if that's what you want.
  
- @vindex truncate-lines
  @cindex truncation
  @cindex line truncation, and fringes
    As an alternative to continuation, Emacs can display long lines by
  @dfn{truncation}.  This means that all the characters that do not fit
! in the width of the screen or window do not appear at all.  They
! remain in the buffer, temporarily invisible.  On terminals, @samp{$}
! in the last column informs you that the line has been truncated on the
! display.  On window systems, a small straight arrow in the fringe to
! the right of the window indicates a truncated line.
! 
! @findex toggle-truncate-lines
!   Truncation instead of continuation happens whenever horizontal
! scrolling is in use, and optionally in all side-by-side windows
! (@pxref{Windows}).  You can enable or disable truncation for a
! particular buffer with the command @kbd{M-x toggle-truncate-lines}.
  
!   @xref{Display Custom}, for additional variables that affect how text is
! displayed.
