Hi Markus,

It's wrapped before the existing space, so that (making spaces visible
as ^):

DESCRIPTION:This^is^a^long^description^that^exists^on^a^long^line.

has now become:

DESCRIPTION:This^is^a^long^description
^^that^exists^on^a^long^line.

So in the transformation only a line break, and a space have been added
- the second space already existed.

Cheers,
					Andrew.

         Flexibility is overrated.  Constraints are liberating.
