Angry with line presented in papers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wild

'angry' is the definition.
(I know that angry can be written as wild)

'with line presented in papers' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'presented in' indicates putting letters inside.
'papers' becomes 'id' (identifying documents are one's 'papers').
'l' placed inside 'id' is 'ild'.
'w'+'ild'='WILD'

(Other definitions for wild that I've seen before include "Tempestuous" , "Not tamed" , "Fierce" , "Unrestrained" , "Undomesticated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
