I don't think this is possible, but I'd like to see the ability to turn
wordwrap off in DBT. Yes, off.
There are times when I want to be completely in control of right margin line
endings. If I'm in a braille file and turn the margin bell on, I want to know
exactly where I run out of room on that line and make my text break decision
accordingly. Right now, text will wrap regardless. I know I could count
characters after the sound, but isn't always easy to do that.
An example is in working on my braille transcription course lessons, I might
have to determine that a word grouping such as (and)(the) which is normally
joined together, can be split with the word and on one line and the on the
next. Right now, DBT will move both words to the next line and that is hard to
catch with a screen reader. If word wrap could be turned off, I would know
exactly where lines end.
Or, could something be done in DBT so that word groups like that wouldn't be
divided if there was room on a previous line for one of the words? I'm thinking
of the words and for of the with and a which are normally joined but should be
split if there is room.
