I am in the process of writing a text editor. After looking at other text editors I have noticed that a number of them refer to a ‘soft’ versus ‘hard’ wrap. What is the difference? I can’t seem to find the answer by searching.

A hard wrap inserts actual line breaks in the text at wrap points, with soft wrapping the actual text is still on the same line but looks like it’s divided into several lines.
