gvim: doc string editing

[jm.suresh]

Hi, I am using gvim, and am looking for a way to tell gvim to
automatically wrap long lines into multiple lines ( by automatically
inserting the newline character) when I edit doc strings. I am sure
somebody must have done this.

If tw (textwidth) is set to some apposite number, then it should
just work (unfortunately, this will also cause your code to wrap
unless you set up the comment strings properly for Python).
Alternatively, you can use the gq formatting command to wrap the
comment after it is composed.

Do :h format_comments for the full dope.
