Adds a line to the current page.
If a line on a page exceeds `max_size` characters, then `max_size` will go up to
`scale_to_size` for a single line before creating a new page for the overflow words. If it
is still exceeded, the excess characters are stored and placed on the next pages unti
there are none remaining (by word boundary). The line is truncated if `scale_to_size` is
still exceeded after attempting to continue onto the next page.
In the case that the page already contains one or more lines and the new lines would cause
`max_size` to be exceeded, a new page is created. This is done in order to make a best
effort to avoid breaking up single lines across pages, while keeping the total length of the
page at a reasonable size.
