Add hard wrapping to a string of text

Synopsis

• wrap string maxlength ?-html?

Description

Returns a modified string of consecutive characters. Hard wrapping is inserted at whitespace at or before maxlength number of characters. This command is very useful in conjunction with mail (refer to open_outbound_mail), Usenet postings (refer to open_post_news) and other environments that do not always perform automatic soft wrapping of text.

wrap normally performs hard wrapping by inserting newline characters. But using the -html switch, newlines can be replaced with <BR> tags to reproduce the effect of hard wrapping of text in an HTML document without relying on the <PRE></PRE> elements.
