Can you give an example of what it does now, vs what you want it to do?

How do you propose users enable that behavior vs. the current default?

I'm thinking some sort of option flag, but not sure what to call it.

[celevra]

Like CSS break-word?

Did this ever happen? I need this very thing myself. I am using latest build, but I dont see how to configure this.

[tecfu]

https://www.github.com/tecfu/tty-table provides text wrapping by default.

Hi,
What is the status of this feature?

[ORESoftware]

Still need this in 2018. The readme says: "Automatic word wrapping." but now I don't know what that means if it doesn't mean this feature.

Ok I read the basic-usage.md file mentioned in the readme file. Looks like you need to manually add \n newlines to your text to get it to wrap to the next row.
