Hummusjs: writeText on Multiple Lines
I'm receiving data from a text area in a form and writing it to my PDF. Unfortunately if the text area contains a lot of text it all writes to only the one line and anything that doesn't fit is cut off. Is there a simple way of having Hummus wrap the long string onto a new line if it reaches the end of the page?
Right now I'm just using .writeText -
.writeText(
myLongString,
50, 645
)

I looked for this option too. But I think library doesn't support it (I gave up). You should implement it yourself.
Biggest problem that you will face with is to determine where to split text. You can take a look at Measuring Text for that. If you can choose that splitting points, then printing those lines will be relatively easy (just print every line as separate texts).

As a note, In another project I once implemented line breaking with BIDI text.
I'll provide a pointer here to where in the code this starts happening:
