186 | \&\f(CW\*(C`Text::Wrap::wrap()\*(C'\fR is a very simple paragraph formatter. It formats a | |
187 | single paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundries. | |
188 | Indentation is controlled for the first line (\f(CW$initial_tab\fR) and | |
189 | all subsequent lines (\f(CW$subsequent_tab\fR) independently. Please note: | |
190 | \&\f(CW$initial_tab\fR and \f(CW$subsequent_tab\fR are the literal strings that will | |
191 | be used: it is unlikley you would want to pass in a number. | |
192 | .PP | |
193 | \&\fIText::Wrap::fill()\fR is a simple multi-paragraph formatter. It formats | |
194 | each paragraph separately and then joins them together when it's done. It | |
195 | will destroy any whitespace in the original text. It breaks text into | |
196 | paragraphs by looking for whitespace after a newline. In other respects | |
197 | it acts like \fIwrap()\fR. | |
198 | .SH "OVERRIDES" | |
199 | .IX Header "OVERRIDES" | |
200 | \&\f(CW\*(C`Text::Wrap::wrap()\*(C'\fR has a number of variables that control its behavior. | |
201 | Because other modules might be using \f(CW\*(C`Text::Wrap::wrap()\*(C'\fR it is suggested | |
202 | that you leave these variables alone! If you can't do that, then | |
203 | use \f(CW\*(C`local($Text::Wrap::VARIABLE) = YOURVALUE\*(C'\fR when you change the | |
204 | values so that the original value is restored. This \f(CW\*(C`local()\*(C'\fR trick | |
205 | will not work if you import the variable into your own namespace. | |
206 | .PP | |
207 | Lines are wrapped at \f(CW$Text::Wrap::columns\fR columns. \f(CW$Text::Wrap::columns\fR | |
208 | should be set to the full width of your output device. In fact, | |
209 | every resulting line will have length of no more than \f(CW\*(C`$columns \- 1\*(C'\fR. | |
210 | .PP | |
211 | It is possible to control which characters terminate words by | |
212 | modifying \f(CW$Text::Wrap::break\fR. Set this to a string such as | |
213 | \&\f(CW'[\es:]'\fR (to break before spaces or colons) or a pre-compiled regexp | |
214 | such as \f(CW\*(C`qr/[\es']/\*(C'\fR (to break before spaces or apostrophes). The | |
215 | default is simply \f(CW'\es'\fR; that is, words are terminated by spaces. | |
216 | (This means, among other things, that trailing punctuation such as | |
217 | full stops or commas stay with the word they are \*(L"attached\*(R" to.) | |
218 | .PP | |
219 | Beginner note: In example 2, above \f(CW$columns\fR is imported into | |
220 | the local namespace, and set locally. In example 3, | |
221 | \&\f(CW$Text::Wrap::columns\fR is set in its own namespace without importing it. | |
222 | .PP | |
223 | \&\f(CW\*(C`Text::Wrap::wrap()\*(C'\fR starts its work by expanding all the tabs in its | |
224 | input into spaces. The last thing it does it to turn spaces back | |
225 | into tabs. If you do not want tabs in your results, set | |
226 | \&\f(CW$Text::Wrap::unexpand\fR to a false value. Likewise if you do not | |
227 | want to use 8\-character tabstops, set \f(CW$Text::Wrap::tabstop\fR to | |
228 | the number of characters you do want for your tabstops. | |
229 | .PP | |
230 | If you want to separate your lines with something other than \f(CW\*(C`\en\*(C'\fR | |
231 | then set \f(CW$Text::Wrap::separator\fR to your preference. This replaces | |
232 | all newlines with \f(CW$Text::Wrap::separator\fR. If you just to preserve | |
233 | existing newlines but add new breaks with something else, set | |
234 | \&\f(CW$Text::Wrap::separator2\fR instead. | |
235 | .PP | |
236 | When words that are longer than \f(CW$columns\fR are encountered, they | |
237 | are broken up. \f(CW\*(C`wrap()\*(C'\fR adds a \f(CW"\en"\fR at column \f(CW$columns\fR. | |
238 | This behavior can be overridden by setting \f(CW$huge\fR to | |
239 | \&'die' or to 'overflow'. When set to 'die', large words will cause | |
240 | \&\f(CW\*(C`die()\*(C'\fR to be called. When set to 'overflow', large words will be | |
241 | left intact. | |
242 | .PP | |
243 | Historical notes: 'die' used to be the default value of | |
244 | \&\f(CW$huge\fR. Now, 'wrap' is the default value. | |
