32class TextWrapper:
33 """
34 Object for wrapping/filling text. The public interface consists of
35 the wrap() and fill() methods; the other methods are just there for
36 subclasses to override in order to tweak the default behaviour.
37 If you want to completely replace the main wrapping algorithm,
38 you'll probably have to override _wrap_chunks().
39
40 Several instance attributes control various aspects of wrapping:
41 width (default: 70)
42 the maximum width of wrapped lines (unless break_long_words
43 is false)
44 initial_indent (default: "")
45 string that will be prepended to the first line of wrapped
46 output. Counts towards the line's width.
47 subsequent_indent (default: "")
48 string that will be prepended to all lines save the first
49 of wrapped output; also counts towards each line's width.
50 expand_tabs (default: true)
51 Expand tabs in input text to spaces before further processing.
52 Each tab will become 1 .. 8 spaces, depending on its position in
53 its line. If false, each tab is treated as a single character.
54 replace_whitespace (default: true)
55 Replace all whitespace characters in the input text by spaces
56 after tab expansion. Note that if expand_tabs is false and
57 replace_whitespace is true, every tab will be converted to a
58 single space!
59 fix_sentence_endings (default: false)
60 Ensure that sentence-ending punctuation is always followed
61 by two spaces. Off by default because the algorithm is
62 (unavoidably) imperfect.
63 break_long_words (default: true)
64 Break words longer than 'width'. If false, those words will not
65 be broken, and some lines might be longer than 'width'.
