<!-- 1. Get the width of the container (in pixels). -->
|

<!-- 2. Get the width of a single character in the monospaced font (this can be done by creating a temporary element with the same font and measuring its width).-->
|
|
<!-- 3. Divide the container's width by the character's width to get the number of characters. -->
