[Geany] Line Wrap Button

[chuck]

I believe what is being asked for is a way to "format" the text and 
force line endings (\n. \r, etc. depending on document ) at the current 
line-breaking column (eg 72). Of course the breaks would occur at word 
boundaries.

This is not overly useful for code but if one downloads a text file with 
no line breaks except for paragraphs, one can see just one long line per 
paragraph.  Try to print that and who knows what you'll get.

Line wrapping depends on the window size.  This request makes the file 
width be a specific number of characters wide.  I'd like to see that 
too.  Sometimes I load up another editor just to do this function.
