## NAME
    [Template::Plugin::Wrap](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Template%3A%3APlugin%3A%3AWrap/markdown) - Plugin interface to [Text::Wrap](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Text%3A%3AWrap/markdown)

## SYNOPSIS
        [% USE wrap %]

        # call wrap subroutine
        [% wrap(mytext, width, initial_tab,  subsequent_tab) %]

        # or use wrap FILTER
        [% mytext FILTER wrap(width, initital_tab, subsequent_tab) %]

## DESCRIPTION
    This plugin provides an interface to the [Text::Wrap](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Text%3A%3AWrap/markdown) module which provides simple paragraph
    formatting.

    It defines a "wrap" subroutine which can be called, passing the input text and further optional
    parameters to specify the page width (default: 72), and tab characters for the first and
    subsequent lines (no defaults).

        [% USE wrap %]

        [% text = BLOCK %]
        First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired
        quantum homogeniser.
        [% END %]

        [% wrap(text, 40, '* ', '  ') %]

    Output:

        * First, attach the transmutex
          multiplier to the cross-wired quantum
          homogeniser.

    It also registers a "wrap" filter which accepts the same three optional arguments but takes the
    input text directly via the filter input.

    Example 1:

        [% FILTER bullet = wrap(40, '* ', '  ') -%]
        First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum
        homogeniser.
        [%- END %]

    Output:

        * First, attach the transmutex
          multiplier to the cross-wired quantum
          homogeniser.

    Example 2:

        [% FILTER bullet -%]
        Then remodulate the shield to match the harmonic frequency, taking
        care to correct the phase difference.
        [% END %]

    Output:

        * Then remodulate the shield to match
          the harmonic frequency, taking
          care to correct the phase difference.
