A most excellent proof, too small to fi—!

You sit at home, rubbing your hands in a most evil fashion. This time, I'll be able to set the community A-SPIN! I'll merely claim that I have proven this problem (which is of no doubt improvable) inside this book here… You open to the first relevant page. You scrawl those words…

You are, of course, the evil Fermat! Haha, just kidding. You know it didn't happen like this; this is merely the narrative of his evil twin, Format. Format here is too lazy to condense his “proof” into the margin. He has therefore called upon you to do it for him.

Objective Given a proof (string), and a page (text block), "write" into the margin the proof.

Valid page rules

A text block contains a page if and only if it meets the following requirements:

  • The top and bottom borders are of the form -{10,}\+$ (Regular expression for - at least ten times until a +, then the end of the line).
  • Every non-top and non-bottom line must end with a |. There will be at least one such line.
  • There will be at least five spaces from the last | in each line.
  • All lines are the same width.

So the following is a valid page (the .s are for showing where the maximal margin border is):

-----------------+
Lorem Ipsum.     |
and other  .     |
latin crud .     |
           .     |
        EOF.     |
-----------------+

Here is another page with a wider margin:

------------------------+
Hello world!   .        |
How are you, to.        |
day? --Mme. B  .        |
               .        |
------------------------+

You are to write the given string in the margin, maintaining words that you can, as far as you can. For example, if hello fits on the next line, do not break it on the current line.

I/Os

Filler text

Proof: This is a most excellent proof, too small for anyone!
Text:                       ; not a leading newline

Hello world!            |
How are you, to         |
day? --Mme. B           |
                        |

Little new to codegolf, can I pick up the page and proof from files? Or do they have to come from user I/O? – wnnmaw – 2015-11-12T20:38:52.550

@wnnmaw welcome to code golf! If it is better, you may choose to read from a file. – Conor O'Brien – 2015-11-12T21:32:05.237

Possible dupe – Mego – 2015-11-17T04:09:50.460

@Mego Not quite. This wants you to recognize a "margin", in addition; that text must have been justified, not merely split. – Conor O'Brien – 2015-11-17T13:43:08.243

Well, thanks for teaching me about lorem ipsum. :P – Rɪᴋᴇʀ – 2016-03-02T15:01:37.037

When given a word that does not fit one the rest of one line, your program should put it on the next line. – Conor O'Brien – 2015-11-12T22:12:59.687

Where do you see it not performing this way? – wnnmaw – 2015-11-12T22:15:51.073

In your first example, "excellent" should be put on the next line; in your second example, "superca" should be also put on the next line. Sorry for the ambiguity there. – Conor O'Brien – 2015-11-12T22:16:52.127

1But "excellent" does not fit on the next line, it has to break either way so I do not see how this is inconsistent with the rules as they are currently written. I currently do not know any way to implement the code as you are now describing – wnnmaw – 2015-11-12T22:20:18.463

2You have a point there, that is how it is worded. My fault entirely, your code is fine. – Conor O'Brien – 2015-11-12T22:21:52.653
