I want to manually reformat, rather than automatically wrap to some fixed width.

The width would be determined by readability of the .pdf versions (-A4, -US).  Maybe I should
check other formats at the same time?

It looks like less than 60 or 80 would already solve most of the problem-cases.  Obviously, the
actual split should be determined by the syntax of the example.
