Unwrapping of --help information

[rkadam]

Hi There,

I'm finding Click library very useful for developing command line application in Python. One such application that I've developed is Automate Atlassian from Command Line

One slightly annoying thing I've noticed is, --help options are not displayed to length of terminal. I've read about use of \b value, but don't seem that's applicable.

Your guidance here will be very helpful.

Thank you,
Raju

Looks like there is already similar bug filed: #204

Try this:

CONTEXT_SETTINGS = dict(
    max_content_width=400,
)

Then when you define the command or group, include that setting:

@click.group(
    chain=False,
    context_settings=CONTEXT_SETTINGS,
    )

This allows the help content to be up to 400 characters wide, and will shrink to the actual screen.
