;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides the `adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode' minor mode which sets
;; the wrap-prefix property on the fly so that single-long-line paragraphs get
;; word-wrapped in a way similar to what you'd get with M-q using
;; adaptive-fill-mode, but without actually changing the buffer's text.

;;; Code:

(defcustom adaptive-wrap-extra-indent 0
  "Number of extra spaces to indent in `adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode'.

`adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode' indents the visual lines to
the level of the actual line plus `adaptive-wrap-extra-indent'.
A negative value will do a relative de-indent.

Examples:

actual indent = 2
extra indent = -1
