Furthermore, LyX does only know about the margin definition, if it is set in the Format>Document dialog. In many (most?) cases, the textwidth is set by the class or a package. The same holds for the length of the line, which depends on the chosen font. All this is handled by LaTeX, so LyX would need to parse for "overfull hbox" warnings. IMHO, the problem could only be solved by a LaTeX package. If I got it right, the listings package has a (rudimentary) support for line wrapping. See its documentation listings.dvi, section 5.6 "Automatic formatting" for details. -- G.Milde web.de
