Options
options.width
Type: Number
Default: 50
The width of the text before wrapping to a new line.
Example:
wrap(str, {width: 60});
options.indent
Type: String
Default: `` (two spaces)
The string to use at the beginning of each line.
Example:
wrap(str, {indent: ' '});
options.newline
Type: String
Default: \n
The string to use at the end of each line.
Example:
wrap(str, {newline: '\n\n'});
options.escape
Type: function
Default: function(str){return str;}
An escape function to run on each line after splitting them.
Example:
var xmlescape = require('xml-escape');
wrap(str, {
escape: function(string){
return xmlescape(string);
}
});
options.trim
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Trim trailing whitespace from the returned string. This option is included since .trim() would also strip the leading indentation from the first line.

wrap(str, {trim: true});
options.cut
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Break a word between any two letters when the word is longer than the specified width.
Example:
wrap(str, {cut: true});
