breakable(sep=' ', width=sep.length)

public

This tells “you can break a line here if necessary”, and a width\-column text sep is inserted if a line is not broken at the point.

If sep is not specified, “ ” is used.

If width is not specified, sep.length is used. You will have to specify this when sep is a multibyte character, for example.

# File lib/prettyprint.rb, line 170
  def breakable(sep=' ', width=sep.length)
    group = @group_stack.last
    if group.break?
      flush
      @output << @newline
      @output << @genspace.call(@indent)
      @output_width = @indent
      @buffer_width = 0
    else
      @buffer << Breakable.new(sep, width, self)
      @buffer_width += width
      break_outmost_groups
    end
  end
