wordwrap — Wraps a string to a given number of characters
$string,$width = 75,$break = "\n",$cut_long_words = false
Wraps a string to a given number of characters using a string break
character.
Strings wrap after a space (U+0020) character unless cut_long_words
is set to true.
stringThe input string.
widthThe number of characters at which the string will be wrapped.
break
The line is broken using the optional break parameter.
It must not be an empty string.
cut_long_words
If the cut_long_words is set to true, the string is
always wrapped at or before the specified width. So if you have
a word that is larger than the given width, it is broken apart.
(See second example). When false the function does not split the word
even if the width is smaller than the word width.
Returns the given string wrapped at the specified length.
If break is an empty string,
a ValueError is thrown.
