What Hub said!! If you have a run that exceeds the width, you
wrap it - even if it means wrapping in the middle of a long string (ie. a
URL).
Interesingly, I just had to deal with this in my layout engine
this week when I implemented columns and tried to render some text with a
long URL that wouldn't fit in the column width. I just wrapped it at the
column width and continued on the next line!
