Re: tidy -utf8 wrapping wacko on wide chars

This may be true on your system, on my system, when I load the page you
suggest in Visual Studio, they are about 1.5 times the width as "ASCII"
characters; 1.0 times in Notepad, varying size when not using a fixed
width font, and so on. I don't disagree that more sophisticated options
to control this would make for a good feature though. I think this is
a new feature, however.

So what's wrong with, say, -wrap 50? I see that this might make some
lines too short... Did you have a look at the pretty printer code and
could tell what's needed there? I'm not sure this is easy to add given
the current design of it.
