I do:

vimdiff file1.txt file2.txt
:se wrap
CTRL-w-w
:se wrap
:let g:html_pre_wrap=1
:TOhtml
ENTER
:w t.html
:q!
:q!
:q!
google-chrome ./t.html

but the long lines are still long and I have to use the scroll bars to
see the rest of the lines and when printed the lines are truncated after
the first ~80 chars.

?? Am I doing something wrong above?
