Hi!

I'm using boost::program_options and my program obtains many parameters. When name or default value of param is long, I get smth like this while trying to

cout << desc_obj;

fullname-of-important-file, f (=/fold1/fold2/fold3/file.ext) The description if so narrow :( And I wish if it was like this:

fullname-of-important-file, f (=/fold1/fold2/fold3/file.ext) The description is here. Such formatting is much more beautiful, IMHO. [empty line?] another-param (=value) Another long long long long description

Is there any way to do this? some switcher..

Roman, unfortunately, this is not possible now. You probably can hack your local copy to unconditionally put a newline before description. - Volodya

I second this request. I've had need for the same thing. If you create a feature request on the bug tracker, I'll add my vote. Roman Shmelev wrote:
