Here is what I'm looking for.

I'd like to find a library or method that formats output text, such that it word wraps at 80 columns (or user configurable), and allows user defined indentation.

I know that I could create one, but I suspect that there is already a library available that does this. I've googled around and I've found pages for iomanip -- which gave me ideas for creating my own.

I've done a cursory search through the boost libraries, but I didn't really find anything that quite matched.

Here it is, search harder next time ;)

If you're on a POSIX platform, you could look at ncurses or termcap and see if they will accomplish what you need.

https://github.com/catchorg/textflowcpp is probably the best way to do this nowadays.
