Synopsis

                  
                  Wrap(string, limit [,strip])

Specifies the maximum number of characters to allow per line in string. If a line is longer than the specified number of characters, an attempt is made to break the line by inserting a line break at the nearest whitespace character (space, tab, etc) before the character limit. If string contains no whitespace characters before the maximum number of characters per line, a line break is inserted at the maximum line length. Wrap() uses operating system specific line breaks. On Windows, it’s a carriage return and newline character. On Unix/Linux, it’s a newline. Optionally, you can specify a third Boolean argument to indicate whether to remove all existing carriage line breaks before wrapping the string. The default for this argument is false.

<cfset myString="This is a string that is so long, I probably would like to break
 it up.  What do you think about that?  Is it a good idea?">
