@defvar wrap-prefix
If this buffer-local variable is non-@code{nil}, the prefix it defines
will be added at display-time to the beginning of every continuation
line due to text wrapping (so if lines are truncated, the wrap-prefix
is never used).  It may be a string, an image, or a stretch-glyph such
as used by the `display' text-property.  @xref{Display Property}.

A wrap-prefix may also be specified for regions of text using the
@code{wrap-prefix} text-property (which takes precedence over the
value of the @code{wrap-prefix} variable).  @xref{Special Properties}.
