Hello Andrew, we use jira for tracking new ideas / feature requests [1]. Chances that this will be implemented are even higher if you provide a patch with acompanying unit tests ;-)
Currently I'm not sure whether this really belongs to lang. WordUtils is supposed as a utility for simple use cases. We should make sure that it doesn't become a full blown text parsing engine, since would be out of scope for [LANG] imho. br, Benedikt [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG 2014-07-08 20:45 GMT+02:00 Andrew Pennebaker <andrew.penneba...@gmail.com>: > The current implementation of WordUtils.wrap behaves well for a lot of > basic English language text, but I'd really like to word-wrap more > complicated text, that contains hyphens and other punctuation.
