Word Wrap Formatter
Greedy word wrap: break text into lines no wider than the limit, keeping words longer than the limit intact on their own lines.
Description
Greedy word wrap: break text into lines no wider than the limit, keeping words longer than the limit intact on their own lines.
Word Wrap Formatter is a focused tool for the following task. Greedy word wrap: break text into lines no wider than the limit, keeping words longer than the limit intact on their own lines. It reports Wrapped text, Line count from the values you provide rather than inventing measurements, coefficients, or professional judgment that are not part of the input.
When to use Word Wrap Formatter
Use this text operation when its stated character encoding, token boundaries, normalization, case handling, and output format match the surrounding workflow.
- Text
- Optional string. Text to wrap; words are split on whitespace.
- Width
- Optional integer. Maximum characters per line.
The cited overview of Text processing supplies background for the terminology and domain context used by this tool.1
How Word Wrap Formatter works
Greedy word wrap: break text into lines no wider than the limit, keeping words longer than the limit intact on their own lines. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.
- Wrapped text
- Returned string. Wrapped text joined with newline characters.
- Line count
- Returned integer. Number of lines produced.
Limitations and assumptions
- Unicode normalization, locale, grapheme clusters, malformed input, ambiguous syntax, and implementation-specific conventions can change text-processing results.
- Width must be at least 1.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Preserve the original text, test representative non-ASCII and malformed cases, and use a standards-aware parser or serializer when interoperability matters.
