MD013 Text Reflow/Wrapping (Experimental)

This release introduces an exciting new experimental feature for MD013 (line length rule): automatic text reflow/wrapping! This addresses issue #13 and provides intelligent line breaking while preserving Markdown formatting.

Key features of text reflow:

📝 Preserves Markdown elements: Bold, italic, links, inline code, and other formatting remain intact
📐 Smart list indentation: Continuation lines properly align with the text content after list markers
💔 Respects hard breaks: Lines ending with two spaces are preserved as intended line breaks
🚫 Selective wrapping: Code blocks, tables, headings, and reference definitions are never wrapped
⚙️ Opt-in feature: Disabled by default to ensure backward compatibility

How to Enable Text Reflow

Add the following to your .rumdl.toml configuration:

[MD013]
line-length = 80
enable-reflow = true

Example

Before:

- This is a very long list item that exceeds the configured line length limit and needs to be wrapped properly

After (with 40-char limit):

- This is a very long list item that
  exceeds the configured line length
  limit and needs to be wrapped properly

🔧 Technical Details

Added pulldown-cmark v0.12.2 dependency for improved Markdown parsing
Implemented sophisticated text reflow algorithm that preserves document structure
Added comprehensive test coverage including unit and integration tests
