NAME

6       Text::WrapI18N - Line wrapping module with support for multibyte,
7       fullwidth, and combining characters and languages without whitespaces
8       between words
9

SYNOPSIS

11         use Text::WrapI18N qw(wrap $columns);
12         wrap(firstheader, nextheader, texts);

DESCRIPTION

15       This module intends to be a better Text::Wrap module.  This module is
16       needed to support multibyte character encodings such as UTF-8, EUC-JP,
17       EUC-KR, GB2312, and Big5.  This module also supports characters with
18       irregular widths, such as combining characters (which occupy zero
19       columns on terminal, like diacritical marks in UTF-8) and fullwidth
20       characters (which occupy two columns on terminal, like most of east
21       Asian characters).  Also, minimal handling of languages which doesn't
22       use whitespaces between words (like Chinese and Japanese) is supported.
23
24       Like Text::Wrap, hyphenation and "kinsoku" processing are not
25       supported, to keep simplicity.
26
27       wrap(firstheader, nextheader, texts) is the main subroutine of
28       Text::WrapI18N module to execute the line wrapping.  Input parameters
29       and output data emulate Text::Wrap.  The texts have to be written in
30       locale encoding.
