|

Object for wrapping/filling text. The public interface consists of
|
|
the wrap() and fill() methods; the other methods are just there for
|
|
subclasses to override in order to tweak the default behaviour.
|
|
If you want to completely replace the main wrapping algorithm,
|
|
you'll probably have to override _wrap_chunks().
|
|
|
|
Several instance attributes control various aspects of wrapping:
|
|
width (default: 70)
|
|
the maximum width of wrapped lines (unless break_long_words
|
|
is false)
|
|
expand_tabs (default: true)
|
|
Expand tabs in input text to spaces before further processing.
|
|
Each tab will become 1 .. 8 spaces, depending on its position in
|
|
its line. If false, each tab is treated as a single character.
|
|
replace_whitespace (default: true)
|
|
Replace all whitespace characters in the input text by spaces
|
|
after tab expansion. Note that if expand_tabs is false and
|
|
replace_whitespace is true, every tab will be converted to a
|
|
single space!
|
|
fix_sentence_endings (default: false)
|
|
Ensure that sentence-ending punctuation is always followed
|
|
by two spaces. Off by default becaus the algorithm is
|
|
(unavoidably) imperfect.
|
|
break_long_words (default: true)
|
|
Break words longer than 'width'. If false, those words will not
|
|
be broken, and some lines might be longer than 'width'.
