*nod* So you'd want output along the lines of:

    blk("  I want to format my documentation like this.                        
\nI want to format my documentation like this. I want to format my      
\ndocumentation like this.                                              ")

?

(Or should /each/ 70-column line be wrapped with  'blk("")'?)
