Short of string padStr in that function, and bool cut in the native PHP
one, I don't see why someone wouldn't just use http://php.net/wordwrap/ .
Ouch! Inserting hard carriage returns into the markup can only work
when a) the font size is fixed (which we know better than to attempt)
or b) the column width enlarges with the font size in a completely
zoomable page.
If the number of characters per line is allowed to change, as happens
when font size changes in a fixed column width, hard carriage returns
will break the wrap.
Far better to let the browser handle word-wrap.
