NAME

	fmt, htmlfmt – simple text formatters

SYNOPSIS

	fmt [ option ... ] [ file ... ] htmlfmt [ −a ] [ −c charset ] [ −u url ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Fmt copies the given files (standard input by default) to its standard output, filling and indenting lines. The options are −l n   Output line length is n, including indent (default 70). −w n   A synonym for −l. −i n   Indent n spaces (default 0). −j    Do not join short lines: only fold long lines. Empty lines and initial white space in input lines are preserved. Empty lines are inserted between input files. Fmt is idempotent: it leaves already formatted text unchanged. Htmlfmt performs a similar service, but accepts as input text formatted with HTML tags. It accepts fmt’s −l and −w flags and also: −a    Normally htmlfmt suppresses the contents of form fields and anchors (URLs and image files); this flag causes it to print them, in square brackets. −c charset change the default character set from iso-8859-1 to charset. This is the character set assumed if there isn’t one specified by the html itself in a <meta> directive. −u urlUse url as the base URL for the document when displaying anchors; sets −a.

BUGS

	Htmlfmt makes no attempt to render the two-dimensional geometry of tables; it just treats the table entries as plain, to-be-formatted text.
