Rightmost Column, Wrapping

WSedit does not handle lines longer than 250 characters. When handling normal text files, the text gets wrapped after 250 characters, even the txt file menu option Options - word wrap is off.

The background of the rightmost column of the editor shows different colors if this property is enabled.

You can enable and disable this setting via settings notebook - General.

A Hardreturn is the end of a line where you have entered RETURN manually. In any formatting, this Return will exist.

A Softreturn disappears if the formatting gets different. If you change the window size and you edit an unformatted file, the editor let appear and disappear Soft Returns.

A Breakreturn also disappears if the formatting gets different. In comparison to the Softreturn which is always related to a space character, the Breakreturn can occur everywhere. But appears only if a long line has got no spaces.

In the "special functions" menubar item, you will find commands where you can transform text with Softreturns into text with Hardreturns and reverse.
