Description
I'd like to be able to preview plaintext documents using line/word wrapping, same as opening the file. This could be configurable, for folks who use txt documents for code rather than prose/note taking/etc. Example of what I mean:

Research direction
Start by locating nemo-preview’s plaintext preview path and comparing it with the existing behavior when opening the file. Then trace how preview options are configured and determine where wrapping can be made configurable. Done means TXT previews support line or word wrapping in the intended mode without changing the default for users who prefer code-style display.
