Wrap width/right margin in Sublime Text

I'll start with the tip:

To set a wrap width (the column at which to wrap text), you set the attribute wrap_width in your Preferences.sublime-settings file (preferably in the User-specific file):

// Set to a value other than 0 to force wrapping at that column 
// rather than the window width
"wrap_width": 120,

I myself combine this setting with the ruler setting:

"rulers":
    [
        80,
        120
    ]

The wrap width is nice to have when you're writing stuff that easily spans several lines (in my case this became a problem when writing LateX).

The reason I'm posting this is because I've seen some people searching for this setting by using the terms "right margin"/"margin", which will lead them to the attribute margin which only sets the left margin.
