API

Function	Description
wrap(text, width)	Word-wrap into a list of lines, each ≤ width
fill(text, width)	wrap joined with newlines
indent(text, prefix)	Prefix every non-blank line
dedent(text)	Remove the common leading whitespace from all lines
shorten(text, width)	Collapse whitespace and truncate with an "..." ellipsis at a word boundary

Notes

• Runs of whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) are collapsed to single spaces.
• A word longer than width is kept whole on its own line rather than broken.
