wordwrap {#language.modifier.wordwrap}
========

Wraps a string to a column width, the default is 80. As an optional
second parameter, you can specify a string of text to wrap the text to
the next line, the default is a carriage return `"\n"`. By default,
`wordwrap` will attempt to wrap at a word boundary. If you want to cut
off at the exact character length, pass the optional third parameter as
TRUE. This is equivalent to the PHP
[`wordwrap()`](https://www.php.net/wordwrap) function.

   Parameter Position    Type     Required   Default  Description
  -------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           1            integer      No        80     This determines how many columns to wrap to.
           2            string       No        \\n    This is the string used to wrap words with.
           3            boolean      No       FALSE   This determines whether or not to wrap at a word boundary (FALSE), or at the exact character (TRUE).


    <?php

    $smarty->assign('articleTitle',
                    "Blind woman gets new kidney from dad she hasn't seen in years."
                   );

    ?>

       

Where template is


    {$articleTitle}

    {$articleTitle|wordwrap:30}

    {$articleTitle|wordwrap:20}

    {$articleTitle|wordwrap:30:"<br />\n"}

    {$articleTitle|wordwrap:26:"\n":true}
