E.g. when user wrapped manually at 78 columns, this will create long - short - long - short lines (in german, why call this effect "Kammquoting" (comb quoting)) . I suggest to avoid textwrap.fill() when text contains '\n'.
Because I think that the "\n" is mainly used for splitting paragraph, so the auto wrap is still useful when there is a "\n", e.g.: DESCRIPTION = "FOO \n<Too many characters>" The ouput is: FOO <74 characters> <74 characters> [snip] I think that this is better than: FOO <Too many characters> // Robert
