Description

WordUtils.wrap is good at what it does, but I want slightly different semantics. I would like the option to set different characters for word breaking, not just space or whitespace, but punctuation marks.

The current implementation wraps like this:

flammable/inflammable [original string]

flammable/inflammable [wrap with large widths]

flammable/inflammable [wrap with wrapLongWords = false]

flammable/inflam [wrap with wrapLongWords = true]
mable

I would like to configure wrap to break "flammable/inflammable" on punctuation marks as well as whitespace, so that it wraps like this:

flammable/ [wrap with additionalBreakCharacters = "/+-"]
inflammable
