Subject: problems with making wordwrap

hi,

i've found a great bit of code from

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/1449

that takes some text and makes it wrap at 80 lines. the only issue is that
it takes multiple line breaks (like paragraphs), and makes them into single
line breaks.

this is the code:

text.gsub( /\n/, "\n\n" ).gsub( /(.{1,80})(\s+|$)/, "\\1\n")

i've tinkered with it for a while, but i can't work out how to not have it
eat lines breaks so hungrily.

thanks for any help
luke
