Word Wrapping

Hi all,         Is there any gem or plugin for "word wrapping".

The reason is I'm trying to generate a pdf from my application. There are issues when I am trying to display long strings with no spaces. A word wrapper should solve the issue I guess.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Why don't you write your own routine to wrap text? Here is a simple one.

def wrap_text(txt, col = 80)   txt.gsub(/(.{1,#{col}})( +|$\n?)|(.{1,#{col}})/,     "\\1\\3\n") end

Have a look at Wrapping Text With Regular Expressions for explanation.
