[% USE wrap %] # call wrap subroutine [% wrap(mytext, width, initial_tab, subsequent_tab) %] # or use wrap FILTER [% mytext FILTER wrap(width, initital_tab, subsequent_tab) %]
This plugin provides an interface to the Text::Wrap module which provides simple paragraph formatting.
It defines a wrap subroutine which can be called, passing
the input text and further optional parameters to specify the page width
(default: 72), and tab characters for the first and subsequent lines (no
defaults).
[% USE wrap %] [% text = BLOCK %] First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser. [% END %] [% wrap(text, 40, '* ', ' ') %]
Output:
* First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser.
It also registers a wrap filter which accepts the same three
optional arguments but takes the input text directly via the filter
input.
Example 1:
[% FILTER bullet = wrap(40, '* ', ' ') -%] First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser. [%- END %]
Output:
* First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser.
Example 2:
[% FILTER bullet -%] Then remodulate the shield to match the harmonic frequency, taking care to correct the phase difference. [% END %]
Output:
* Then remodulate the shield to match the harmonic frequency, taking care to correct the phase difference.
