Re: tidy -utf8 wrapping wacko on wide chars

All I know is in my fixed width world of editing HTML files,
these two lines look exactly the same length,
１２３４５６７８９０ １２３４５６７８９０ １２３４５６７８９０
12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890

(On e.g., Linux) please do
$ a=１２３４５ b=67890
$ for i in $a $b "$a $b"; do perl -wle "print q($i ) x 20"|tidy -utf8 -q; done
and tell me if tidy -utf8 doesn't miscalculate where to wrap -- the
point of the wrap column being to fit things on the screen! I give it
ample space characters to break at. Only with pure ASCII does it get
it right.
You must admit that there are some lines from the above that stick out
way farther than the ASCII ones... off the screen.

B> I think this is a new feature, however.
Emacs seems to know double width characters are double width.

B> So what's wrong with, say, -wrap 50?
Once tried it for 3 minutes. Anyway, it's either ASCII paragraphs way
to short, wide character paragraphs way too long. And mixed paragraphs
mixed...

Please give exact modem small download URL or email me... But I am
lately getting rather dull headed so may not be able to figure it out.
