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.
