Documentation

Non-nil means entering Org mode will set truncate-lines.

This is useful since some lines containing links can be very long and uninteresting. Also tables look terrible when wrapped.

The variable org-startup-truncated enables you to configure truncation for Org mode different to the other modes that use the variable truncate-lines and as a shortcut instead of putting the variable truncate-lines into the org-mode-hook. If one wants to configure truncation for Org mode not statically but dynamically e.g. in a hook like ediff-prepare-buffer-hook then the variable truncate-lines has to be used because in such a case it is too late to set the variable org-startup-truncated.
