CodeMirror auto Line-Break

Question

I'm trying to make it so when you go over a certain amount of text and it reaches the max-width of the codemirror it will bring you down to a new line instead of just making a scrollbar and making you go out further.

Checkout the example! http://codeeplus.net/test.php

CSS:

<style>
  .CodeMirror { height: 400px; width: 500px; border: 1px solid #ddd; }
  .CodeMirror-scroll { max-height: 400px; width:500px; }
  .CodeMirror pre { display:inline-block; padding-left: 7px; line-height: 1.25; }
  #drawing { border: 1px solid #555555; float:left; display:inline-block; width:480px; height: 380px; }
</style>

Textarea:

<textarea align="left" style="display:inline-block;" id=demotext name="textarea">

JS:

  <script>
    var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById("demotext"), {
      lineNumbers: true,
      lineWrapping: true,
      mode: "text/html",
      matchBrackets: true
    });
  </script>

In CSS3 they added word-wrap property. Use word-wrap: break-word;

Note that it will create new lines where there is a whitespace. If your string contains no space, it will not work as intended and you'd need to do it programmatically
