Description

Matrices are wrapped in a rather unhelpful way in the documentation. Here are a couple of examples: [PieriMaps](https://macaulay2.com/doc/Macaulay2/share/doc/Macaulay2/PieriMaps/html/index.html), [AInfinity](https://macaulay2.com/doc/Macaulay2/share/doc/Macaulay2/AInfinity/html/_burke__Resolution.html).

Probably removing `ArgPrintWidth` here would do the job:

Research direction

Inspect M2/Macaulay2/m2/run.m2 at the referenced line around ArgPrintWidth, then review the linked PieriMaps and AInfinity documentation pages to reproduce the matrix wrapping. Confirm that the documentation renders matrices without the unhelpful wrapping and that other output formatting remains acceptable.
