Is it possible to make the text it one row overlap the other rows. This is a really long text title here and I want it to get all the way to the right side of the row, but it is being cut off at column B

@jmcnamara commented on GitHub (Jun 14, 2021):

The general answer to "how do I do something with Libxlsxwriter" is "how would you do it in Excel"?

One way would be to merge the cells like this: worksheet_merge_range() or wrap the text in the cells like this: format_set_text_wrap()
