Bug description:  wordwrap example clarification

Description:
------------
function wordwrap:

----
Example 1:
$text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
$newtext = wordwrap( $text, 20 );
echo "$newtext\n";

Example 1 output:
The quick brown fox
jumped over the
lazy dog.
---

This is rather misleading to new users, they seem to be expecting their
output to be shown with carriage returns in html (since php defaults with
text/html mime-type.) Perhaps using a <pre> tag around output:

echo "<pre>$newtext</pre>"

Or using the break parameter in the function:

$newtext = wordwrap( $text, 20, '<br>');

This applies to both example 1 and 2.

Thanks.
