Wrapping in Notepad++

Question

I know the Python coding standard has a limit of 78 characters per line. I am working in Notepad++ and how do I set it so it wraps after 78 characters?

it's not about automated wrapping, you should write you code in a way that it should not exceed character limit — avasal

There's a good writeup in the Notepad++ User Manual about managing line lengths. It suggests using the Settings -> Preferences -> Editing -> Vertical edge settings. There doesn't appear to be a way to have it automatically wrap to a new line as you are typing.

Notepad++ wiki has moved since the original answer to this question. Functionality checked and is working in Notepad++ 6.6.7.

The Notepad++ wiki seems to have vanished, but now there is a new and better User Manual.

To apply the WordWrap, just goo to view in the Menu bar and check the WordWrap option.

This only changes the way lines are displayed, that doesn't wrap the line within the file.
