Quick poll to interested parties: Do you want me to add
logic to handle line wrapping now, later, or never?  Its
been something I wanted to address and I thought of a
relatively easy way to do it this morning while in the
shower.  In the code that inserts the XHTML markup I would
put temporary markers (perhaps \0,\1) around the markup so
that I could easily count visible characters accurately and
perform the break.   I'd add a "wrapcolumn" attribute to the
__init__ method that would default to None (no wrapping).  I
would break on the exact column number (not worrying about
breaking on whitespace).  I'll also put some type of
continuation marker in the line number column (probably a
single ">").

I did get a hold of Raymond.  He suggests recruiting either
Tim or another developer to work on inserting the patch as
his time is tight right now.  I'll put out a plea for help
on Python-Dev this weekend (I'll wait until after I
implement line wrapping if feedback is positive) unless I'm
lucky and get a volunteer based on this posting.

Raymond recommended a "tex" checker script that comes in the
standard distribution to run on my modifications to the .tex
documentation file.  My changes are OK.
