Usage

Greedy wrapping (basic)

var text = "On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue."
var result = wrap.basic(text, { width: 35 });

Results in:

  On the other hand, we denounce with
  righteous indignation and dislike
  men who are so beguiled and

  pleasure of the moment, so blinded
  by desire, they cannot foresee the
  pain and trouble that are bound to
  ensue.

var result = wrap.balanced(text, { width: 35 });

Results in:

  On the other hand, we denounce
  with righteous indignation and
  dislike men who are so beguiled
