Details

This is currently implemented as thin wrapper over strwrap, but is vectorised over stringr, and collapses output into single strings. See strwrap for more details.

Examples

thanks <- str_c(readLines(R.home("doc/THANKS")), collapse = "\n")
thanks <- word(thanks, 1, 3, fixed("\n\n"))
cat(str_wrap(thanks), "\n")
cat(str_wrap(thanks, width = 40), "\n")
cat(str_wrap(thanks, width = 60, indent = 2), "\n")
cat(str_wrap(thanks, width = 60, exdent = 2), "\n")
