WORDWRAP

Word wrap

In text display, line wrap is the feature of continuing on a new line when a line is full, such that each line fits in the viewable window, allowing text to be read from top to bottom without any horizontal scrolling. Word wrap obviates the hard-coding of newline delimiters inside paragraphs and allows the dynamic reflowing of text with new automatic line-breaking decisions on the fly . Word wrap is the additional feature of most text editors, word processors, and web browsers, of breaking lines between and not within words, except when a single word is longer than a line.
