✂️Text Wrap & Truncate Tool Documentation & Guide
Text & Content
The Text Wrap & Truncate tool reformats paragraphs to fixed column boundaries (word wrapping) or limits strings to strict character or word counts with custom ellipsis tails.
📋How to Use This Tool
- Paste Long Text: Input sentences or paragraphs into the input workspace.
- Select Operation Mode: Choose Hard Word Wrap, Truncate at Characters, or Truncate at Words.
- Specify Limit & Ellipsis: Enter column width (e.g. 80 columns) or maximum character limit, and customize the ellipsis string.
- Click Wrap / Truncate: Execute the formatting algorithm and review line counts, character reduction, and output.
⚙️Technical & Algorithmic Details
• Word Boundary Awareness: Wraps at whitespace boundaries to prevent breaking words across lines unless words exceed column limits.
• Ellipsis Compensation: Character truncation automatically subtracts ellipsis length from the maximum limit to guarantee strict compliance.
• Multi-Paragraph Retention: Preserves empty line breaks between paragraphs during column reflowing.
💡Practical Use Cases & Best Practices
- Formatting code documentation and commit messages to standard 72 or 80-character limits.
- Enforcing strict 160-character limits for SEO meta descriptions and SMS marketing text.
- Generating teaser excerpts and previews for article card layouts.
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee:Text processing and wrapping algorithms execute completely within local client memory.
