## Break Character Strings to Fit Width

### Description

Inserts line breaks (`collapse`) into input character strings. The main intention of this function is to prepare long strings for printing, so the output is not wider than `width`.

### Usage

      strbreak(x, width=getOption("width"), exdent=2, collapse="\n")

### Arguments

`x` | a character vector
`width` | a positive integer giving the width of the output.
`exdent` | a positive integer specifying the indentation of subsequent lines after the first line.
`collapse` | a character. This is inserted to break lines.
