I had this problem earlier and solved it here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/6df6e6b541a15bc2/09f28e26af0699b1 thanks to a little guidance from Ben Finney on where to look. It came up again last month here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/e72deee779d9989b/ which should solve the problem for you. ASIDE: I've started refactoring this bit out in my local source...how would I go about contributing it back to the Python code-base? I didn't get any feedback from posting to the Optik site. My refactor basically takes an optional pre-processing function to parse your string into the output that gets passed to textwrap.wrap() and textwrap.fill(), defaulting to the old behavior, but offering a function for splitting it into paragraphs based on newlines. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
