Returns String containing the wrapped text.

Function syntax
    Wrap(string, limit[, strip])
See also cfmail
History ColdFusion MX 6.1: Added this function
Parameters
Usage Inserts line break at the location of the first white space character (such as a space, tab, or new line) before the specified limit on a line. If a line has no whitespace characters before the limit, inserts a line break at the limit. Uses the operating-system specific line break: newline for UNIX, carriage return and newline on Windows.

If you specify the strip parameter, all existing line breaks are removed, so any paragraph formatting is lost.

Use this function to limit the length of text lines, such as text to be included in a mail message. The cfmail and cfmailpart tag wraptext attributes use this function
