wordwrap, center, rjust, and widthratio (for most uses) are more
appropriate for print layout than HTML. The proper way to implement
these in HTML is with CSS, yet they are all part of the existing
default filters. When it comes to the templates, this is just a
specialized form of wordwrap. If the argument is that this is more for
printed forms and not of real general use for the most common html
generation and take up memory and adds bloat, then I question the
inclusion of these other filters, django.utils.text.wrap and other
utilities as well. At least that was my point (and admittedly a weak
one :-) The astute will notice that I left off my fourth argument (it
was just too weak).

I welcome any and all help!!! I don't see this as anything crucial or
time sensitive.
For my part I want this feature for a project, and at worst can
include the code as an app there. I just believe it should be part of
the django distribution instead of some third party addon.
