### options.width

Type: `Number`

Default: `50`

The width of the text before wrapping to a new line.

**Example:**

```js
wrap(str, {width: 60});
```

### options.indent

Type: `String`

Default: `` (none)

The string to use at the beginning of each line.

**Example:**

```js
wrap(str, {indent: '      '});
```

### options.newline

Type: `String`

Default: `\n`

The string to use at the end of each line.

**Example:**

```js
wrap(str, {newline: '\n\n'});
```

### options.escape

Type: `function`

Default: `function(str){return str;}`

An escape function to run on each line after splitting them.

**Example:**

```js
var xmlescape = require('xml-escape');
wrap(str, {
  escape: function(string){
    return xmlescape(string);
  }
});
```

### options.trim

Type: `Boolean`

Default: `false`

Trim trailing whitespace from the returned string. This option is included since `.trim()` would also strip the leading indentation from the first line.

**Example:**

```js
wrap(str, {trim: true});
```

### options.cut

Type: `Boolean`

Default: `false`

Break a word between any two letters when the word is longer than the specified width.

**Example:**

```js
wrap(str, {cut: true});
```
