Not sure if you are aware of it, but the example doesn't work in Firefox. Not a huge deal, but might be good to add a notice somewhere: |

Hi @sirwindfield, thanks for testing it! I would love to make it work in Firefox too and you're right, it should be noted somewhere what I've tested it with. |

Hi @sirwindfield, I tested it some more and found the problem — I was using some methods which aren't yet supported by Firefox. A new version has been deployed in 9aaa7c5. |
It turns out that Firefox doesn’t implement the fontBoundingBoxAscent and fontBoundingBoxDescent methods on the TextMetrics object returned by measureText. We can work around this by measuring a suitably tall character such as the box drawing vertical pipe character.

This example shows how one can use Textwrap to wrap text outside of the console. In this case, the text is shown on a HTML canvas. The user can switch the font family between monospace, serif, and sans-serif and we accurately use the actual width as measured by the browser to wrap the text.
The code is manually deployed to https://mgeisler.github.io/textwrap/, I'll work on some automation for this next.
