WordWrapTing

The WordWrapTing module provides a wrap function which takes two arguments: a string, and a column number. The function returns the string, but with line breaks inserted at just the right places to make sure that no line is longer than the column number. It tries to break lines at word boundaries. Like a word processor, it breaks the line by replacing the last space in a line with a newline.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'word_wrap_ting'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install word_wrap_ting

WordWrapTing.wrap('word', 5)
# word

WordWrapTing.wrap('longword', 4)
# long
# word

WordWrapTing.wrap('very long word', 4)
# very
# long
# word
