text wrap

Automatic line breaking

Text wrap is the automatic continuation of text onto the next line when it reaches the edge of a display area or container.

In word processors and web design, text wrap also refers to how content flows around an inserted image or object: I set the text wrap so the paragraph hugs the photo.

The verb form describes this behavior: The caption wraps awkwardly around the chart.
