In Jinja2.7 the following URLs passed through the wordwrap filter with break_long_words=False still end up breaking on hyphens, periods, and slashes. In my case this is not desirable as I want URLs without white-space to not break at all.

Here's an example that wraps at the first "-" character:

{{ "https://docs.python.org/2/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper.wrap-this-lineis-goingtowrap"|wordwrap(73, False) }}

Adding the following custom wordwrap function which sets break_on_hyphens=False and invoking with customwordwrap() corrects the issue:

@environmentfilter
def do_customwordwrap(environment, s, width=79, break_long_words=True,
                wrapstring=None, break_on_hypens=False):
    """
    Return a copy of the string passed to the filter wrapped after
    ``79`` characters.  You can override this default using the first
    parameter.  If you set the second parameter to `false` Jinja will not
    split words apart if they are longer than `width`. By default, the newlines
    will be the default newlines for the environment, but this can be changed
    using the wrapstring keyword argument.
    """
    if not wrapstring:
        wrapstring = environment.newline_sequence
    import textwrap
    return wrapstring.join(textwrap.wrap(s, width=width, expand_tabs=False,
                                   replace_whitespace=False,
                                   break_long_words=break_long_words,
                                   break_on_hyphens=break_on_hypens))

{{ "https://docs.python.org/2/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper.wrap-this-lineis-goingtowrap"|customwordwrap(73, False) }}

This also corrects wrapping on '.' and on '/' in long unbroken URLs as well.

I suggest exposing break_on_hypens as a parameter to the wordwrap filter as was done with break_long_words as demonstrated by the custom wordwrap filter I provided.
