Eg from:
I went for a walk and fell down a hole.

To (6 max width):
I went

a common method works as follows. first you split your string 
into chunks where newlines might appear. e.g. after every space. 
then you keep track of a "line buffer", you keep adding chunks to 
the line buffer until it's too wide, then you remove one chunk 
and output the buffer as a line. rinse and repeat.

I'll get to work on some example code.

do mind that this code has a couple issues, for example handing 
it a word longer than the break width will make it loop 
infinitely.

word wrap is a surprisingly hard problem, but I hope I gave you a 
good enough starting point.

Thanks Doxin. I going with the Phobos one, though. I've added 
your code to my large amount to of small programs.
