word wrapping of continuous text

[Mima]

I have a continuous sequence of letters (no special characters or breaks) and TeX writes it over the right border of the page. How can I wrap this sequence such that line breaks are introduced where the page ends?

Thanks a lot for your help!!

A crude but simple hack (that destroys ligatures and hyphenation) would be to split up the letters and allow breaking everywhere:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*\wrapletters[1]{\wr@pletters#1\@nil}
\def\wr@pletters#1#2\@nil{#1\allowbreak\if&#2&\else\wr@pletters#2\@nil\fi}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\wrapletters{akjhghjerbhkjgxhdrjgkbhyxksrfihcgbwaemklcjtnhwabketrbmshrkncgaervbetjkewhbgrkjavkjdkvbkjsjkbtkgvnsetbjsrhtservjbtbjkhtvy}
\end{document}
