For instance on [this page](https://www.makemkv.com/developers/usage.txt) (archive ) the text extends to infinity, w3m doesn't wrap the lines at all for unknown reasons. lynx in comparison isn't affected. I can only read by scrolling the affected lines using the w3m cursor. Depending on the size of my terminal window the lines are cut off in this manner: > --progress=file Output all progress messages to file. The same special file names as in --messages are recognized with when I'd expect the lines to be wrapped — the full paragraph: > --progress=file Output all progress messages to file. The same special file names as in --messages are recognized with additional value "-same" to output to the same file as messages. Naturally --progress should follow --messages in this case. Default is no output. Is this by design or a clear bug? --- w3m version w3m/0.5.3+git20230121, options lang=en,m17n,image,color,ansi-color,mouse,gpm,menu,cookie,ssl,ssl-verify,external-uri-loader,w3mmailer,nntp,gopher,ipv6,alarm,mark This superuser.com question isn't a duplicate, the OP is attempting to configure a fixed line length.
