.TH FMT 1 .SH NAME fmt, htmlfmt \- simple text formatters .SH SYNOPSIS .B fmt [ .I option ... ] [ .I file ... ] .PP .B htmlfmt [ .B -a ] [ .B -c .I charset ] [ .B -u .I url ] [ .I file ... ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Fmt copies the given .I files (standard input by default) to its standard output, filling and indenting lines. The options are .TP .BI -l " n Output line length is .IR n , including indent (default 70). .TP .BI -w " n A synonym for .BR -l . .TP .BI -i " n Indent .I n spaces (default 0). .TP .BI -j Do not join short lines: only fold long lines. .PP Empty lines and initial white space in input lines are preserved. Empty lines are inserted between input files. .PP .I Fmt is idempotent: it leaves already formatted text unchanged. .PP .I Htmlfmt performs a similar service, but accepts as input text formatted with HTML tags. It accepts .IR fmt 's .B -l and .B -w flags and also: .TP .BI -a Normally .I htmlfmt suppresses the contents of form fields and anchors (URLs and image files); this flag causes it to print them, in square brackets. .TP .BI -c " charset change the default character set from iso-8859-1 to .IR charset . This is the character set assumed if there isn't one specified by the html itself in a <meta> directive. .TP .BI -u " url Use .I url as the base URL for the document when displaying anchors; sets .BI -a . .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/cmd/fmt.c .PP .B /sys/src/cmd/htmlfmt .SH BUGS .I Htmlfmt makes no attempt to render the two-dimensional geometry of tables; it just treats the table entries as plain, to-be-formatted text.
