Frequently Asked Questions
What does word wrap formatting do?

It breaks long lines of text at a specified column width so each line stays within that limit. Words are kept intact.

What column width should I use?

80 characters is the most common standard. Use 72 for Git commit messages. Use 100 or 120 for wider modern displays.

Will it break long URLs or file paths?

With hard-wrap disabled (default), words longer than the column width are placed on their own line but not broken. Enable hard-wrap to split them.

Does it preserve paragraph breaks?

Yes, by default blank lines between paragraphs are preserved. Each paragraph is wrapped independently.
