## Why `ansiwrap`?

![](./.img/ansiwrap_comparison.png)

> Old text wrappers can't handle ANSI escape sequence formatting,

> but `ansiwrap` knows what to do!

## Features

- ANSI escape sequence aware

- unicode aware

- Greedy and balanced text wrapping

- Flexible indenting

## Example

### Screenshot

### Code

```go

package main

import (

	"fmt"

	"github.com/manifoldco/ansiwrap"

)

// text including ANSI formatting

const text = "Sweet jujubes tootsie roll cotton candy lollipop. Marzipan donut" +

	" gummies tiramisu fruitcake sesame snaps icing danish.  Ice cream sesame snaps" +

	" candy lemon drops toffee oat cake pastry gummies soufflé. Candy chocolate cake" +

	" ice cream tiramisu \033[35mmarshmallow\033[0m sesame snaps" +

	" \033[35mmarshmallow\033[0m tootsie roll. Pastry cupcake biscuit. Tiramisu" +

	" chocolate sweet sugar plum. Pastry cupcake tart chocolate cake gingerbread" +

	" toffee cake gummi bears oat cake. Icing ice cream danish danish bonbon" +

	" \033[35mmarshmallow\033[0m \033[35mmarshmallow\033[0m gummi bears chocolate bar." +

	" Sesame snaps icing chocolate liquorice macaroon sugar plum macaroon ice cream." +

	" Tootsie roll sugar plum oat cake jelly toffee. Sweet cotton candy candy" +

	" caramels carrot cake cotton candy tiramisu gummies cheesecake. Sweet marzipan" +

	" topping jujubes sesame snaps. Cupcake cake jelly beans candy canes ice cream" +

	" jelly gummies."

func main() {

	// Add your favorite ANSI escape code library, and terminal width reporter.

	// A bold and blue label

	label := "\033[1;34mCupcake ipsum:\033[0m "

	// count the printable characters in label

	rc := ansiwrap.RuneCount(label)

	// Wrap the text to 80 chars, aligning with the end of the label

	// Lines are wrapped with minimal raggedness, as the text is long enough

	// to have ansiwrap choose the Balanced algorithm.

	fmt.Println(ansiwrap.WrapIndent(label+text, 70, 0, rc))

}

```
