Announcing the Marginalise Ruby gem

As part of a much larger project I have made a simple gem for automatically realigning strings to an arbitrary right hand margin.

require “marginalise”
puts “This is a long string for the sake of testing the marginalise gem”.marginalise(10)
This is a
long
string
for the
sake of
testing
the
marginalise
gem

The full code is available here.

I might add more specific arguments (left and right margins) and inserting a hyphen in a phonetically sensible location in the future but don’t hold your breath.
