Line Length: Sets the maximum number of characters allowed in each line. The wrapping behavior depends on whether word-based or character-based wrapping is selected.

Wrap by Word: Wraps the text based on word boundaries, making sure no word is broken across lines. Lines will wrap as close as possible to the specified length without splitting words.

Wrap by Character: Wraps the text at the exact number of characters set, even if it means breaking words across lines. Useful for strict formatting needs.
