 Value Description
 0 Wrapping is OFF
 1 Wrapping is ON

Notes

If the data to be printed is:

Bob Smith   This is a really really really long status update.

Joe Smith   This is also a really really really long status update.

without print_wrap, the output may appear as:
Bob Smith   This is a really really really long sta
tus update.

Joe Smith   This is also a really really really lon
g status update.

with print_wrap, the output would appear as:
Bob Smith   This is a really really really long
            status update.

Joe Smith   This is also a really really really
            long status update.

To determine the width of the display:
If the rightmost column is smaller than print_wrap_min_width then no wrapping will be used

If a really long string (such as a URL) cannot be properly wrapped, the preference print_wrap_cut (-cut) is checked: If set to 1 then the url will be cut across multiple lines, otherwise it will not wrap.

with print_wrap_cut, the output may appear as:
Bob Smith   http://www.reallyreallyreallyreallyl
            ongurl.com

without print_wrap_cut, the output would appear as:
Bob Smith   http://www.reallyreallyreallyreallyl
ongurl.com
