Description

We are using custom facts to report on our server estate, for example license keys, UUID values, hardware vendors, etc. There's even a default fact of 'sshdsakey' which is good for demonstrating this feature request.

Example facts might be:

custom_license=HJDW-JWDD-YAPX-SDWA-WHWW-QSQQ-LEZC-MOOW-ASDA-LPWD
custom_uuid=4239A351-1DSB-DD61-E123-1C1AAADFBFF12C-ASD-SDS-WW-DD
sshdsakey=AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MsdAAACBAKJ4T9RXu0A1roWJgHkvjQ2ogGN+kScfF3ir+zqZJBDUN6L8jvJGOvI0AvjgHDEc8cp0+pZYJlXYeG/iLbR2wSp7VTR5WsGs8BaNl+Cr3BqBK7y6GujOH9

Foreman shows about the first 37 or so characters when displaying facts under Monitor -> Facts. However, it's not easy to select the full values of the facts.

When the fact is a long value, could we wrap the text within the cell so that it's displayed within the report and easy to select with a mouse click?

So rather than:

Host     Name       Value     
host1 sshdsakey AAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI0lSZxUr19SJYxWc...          

host2 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI1HmMbcT9x0CpXK5... 

host3 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI3q/PnqB8KGE1l/B... 

The page might look like:

Host     Name       Value     
host1 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI0lSZxUr19SJYxWcKASDASDSDSDS
                KSDNSDJNCNSNCDJCNDJNSDWWDWDWDD
