Re: st: wrapping title with by option

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

Well, it's certainly feasible since I showed a way of directly editing the 
subtitles to create the two line version.  I also tend to believe it wouldn't be 
too hard to make that behavior feasible, although double quotes within value 
labels strike me as a poor idea in general.  Instead, it might be better to have 
a -wrapsubtitle- option within the by option, or perhaps more generally, allow 
a -wrap- option to be combined with other text formatting and justification 
options.
