Expanding items tooltip size?

I've seen some maps having novels as tooltips, but it seems there are some tricks involved. There's pretty strict letter cap on the normal tooltips, as the text gets cropped in game. I need to get rid of this letter-cap. Does anybody know how to?

Thanks a bunch.

Not sure if this helps or not, but when I am writing item tooltips for my recipe the editor always cuts me off. So I have to copy the field value of the tooltip string and use a sort of "dummy icon" to set it's tooltip to my copied one. Then I copy it back and it allows me to keep on typing.

Kinda odd, hope it helps ;0

I guess I won't need it. I have made like 10 unique epic items where each of them had some kind of a legend to it, similar to those that came with Frozen Throne. I've written all damn ten legends, so it was a hell of a waste of time! hehe.

What irritates me is that the textbox allowes me to keep on writing, so I don't know exactly when I'm at the limit. If I'm going to shorten them down.
