The public interface consists of 43 the wrap() and fill() methods; the other methods are just there for 44 subclasses to override in order to tweak the default behaviour. 45 If you want to completely replace the main wrapping algorithm, 46 you'll probably have to override _wrap_chunks(). 47 48 Several instance attributes control various aspects of wrapping: 49 width (default: 70) 50 the maximum width of wrapped lines (unless break_long_words 51 is false) 52 initial_indent (default: "") 53 string that will be prepended to the first line of wrapped 54 output. Counts towards the line's width. 55 subsequent_indent (default: "") 56 string that will be prepended to all lines save the first 57 of wrapped output; also counts towards each line's width. 58 expand_tabs (default: true) 59 Expand tabs in input text to spaces before further processing. 60 Each tab will become 1 .. 8 spaces, depending on its position in 61 its line. If false, each tab is treated as a single character. 62 replace_whitespace (default: true) 63 Replace all whitespace characters in the input text by spaces 64 after tab expansion. Note that if expand_tabs is false and 65 replace_whitespace is true, every tab will be converted to a 66 single space! 67 fix_sentence_endings (default: false) 68 Ensure that sentence-ending punctuation is always followed 69 by two spaces. Off by default because the algorithm is 70 (unavoidably) imperfect. 71 break_long_words (default: true) 72 Break words longer than 'width'. If false, those words will not 73 be broken, and some lines might be longer than 'width'. 74 break_on_hyphens (default: true) 75 Allow breaking hyphenated words. If true, wrapping will occur 76 preferably on whitespaces and right after hyphens part of 77 compound words. 78 drop_whitespace (default: true) 79 Drop leading and trailing whitespace from lines. 80 """ 81 82 whitespace_trans = string.maketrans(_whitespace, ' ' * len(_whitespace)) 83 84 unicode_whitespace_trans = {} 85 uspace = ord(u' ') 86 for x in map(ord, _whitespace): 87 unicode_whitespace_trans[x] = uspace 88 89 # This funky little regex is just the trick for splitting 90 # text up into word-wrappable chunks.
