Description
Hi
I'm using aglio 2.2.0/olio 1.6.2.
I'm writing an API documentation involving URIs with a lot of parameters. The issue is that the URI template is cut by the css property `text-overflow: ellipsis`, which makes it difficult to read.
Here is an example using the `streak` theme with the 3-column layout :

It's quite a rare case, but still. (btw I'm in fullscreen mode, but people with small screen might have the issue more frequently)
You can argue that there is an example in the third column that allows to guess the end of the URI, however this can be confusing.

Research direction
Start by locating the theme CSS rule applying text-overflow: ellipsis to URI templates, then inspect the streak theme with the 3-column layout described in the report. The work is done when long parameterized URIs remain readable, including on small screens, without relying on the example in the third column.
