Text Wrapper
Wrap text at specified column width
Frequently Asked Questions
What is text wrapping?
Text wrapping breaks long lines of text into shorter lines at a specified character width. This ensures text fits within a designated space while maintaining readability and proper word separation.
How does word-aware wrapping work?
The tool splits text into words and builds lines by adding words until the next word would exceed the column width. It then starts a new line, ensuring words aren't broken in the middle.
What's the ideal column width for readability?
Research suggests 50-75 characters per line is optimal for readability. For code, 80-120 characters is common. For novels, 60-65 characters is typical. The default 80 characters works well for most applications.
When is text wrapping useful?
Text wrapping is useful for code formatting, terminal output, email composition, document preparation, blog posts, and any situation requiring controlled line lengths for better presentation.
