Function `std.string.wrap`

Wrap text into a paragraph.


						
				S wrap(S)
				(
				

				  S s,
				

				  in size_t columns = 80,
				

				  S firstindent = null,
				

				  S indent = null,
				

				  in size_t tabsize = 8
				

				)
				

				if (isSomeString!S);

The input text string s is formed into a paragraph by breaking it up into a sequence of lines, delineated by \n, such that the number of columns is not exceeded on each line. The last line is terminated with a \n.

Parameters

Name	Description
s	text string to be wrapped
columns	maximum number of columns in the paragraph
firstindent	string used to indent first line of the paragraph
indent	string to use to indent following lines of the paragraph
tabsize	column spacing of tabs in firstindent[] and indent[]

Returns

resulting paragraph as an allocated string

Example

writeln(wrap("a short string", 7)); // "a short\nstring\n"

// wrap will not break inside of a word, but at the next space
writeln(wrap("a short string", 4)); // "a\nshort\nstring\n"

writeln(wrap("a short string", 7, "\t")); // "\ta\nshort\nstring\n"
writeln(wrap("a short string", 7, "\t", "    ")); // "\ta\n    short\n    string\n"
