i using code display headline if there one

<%= @user.headline if @user.headline? %>

i have limited 100 characters. how can break headline after 50 characters , display broken part below? planning have them centered in 2 lines.

for example:

display:

if headline goes on 100 characters then

you use word_wrap text helper:

include actionview::helpers::texthelper # or in controller # helper :text  word_wrap(@user.headline, :line_width => 50)
