Your example has neither / nor , so it does not actually provide a test.

Are you talking about how to wrap text in a cell when writing to an ODS output destination instead of just created a normal fixed width text output of the normal LISTING (Output Window) output? I am not sure if ODS uses the SPLIT= option.
