|

| 7 | \fIfmt\fR is a simple text formatter.

|
|---|

|
|---|
| 10 | It preserves indentation and word spacing.

|

| 13 | You can override this with the \-\fIwidth\fR flag.
|
|---|
| 14 | If you don't name any files on the command line,
|
|---|
| 15 | then \fIfmt\fR will read from stdin.

| 17 | It is typically used from within \fIvi\fR to adjust the line breaks

|
|---|
| 19 | To do this, move the cursor to the top of the paragraph,
|
|---|
| 20 | type "!}fmt", and
|
|---|
| 21 | hit <Return>.
