Summary: Various subroutines to format text
Description:
The format routine will format under all circumstances even if the
width isn't enough to contain the longest words. *Text::Wrap* will die
under these circumstances, although I am told this is fixed. If columns
is set to a small number and words are longer than that and the leading
'whitespace' than there will be a single word on each line. This will
let you make a simple word list which could be indented or right
aligned. There is a chance for croaking if you try to subvert the
module. If you don't pass in text then the internal text is worked on,
though not modfied.
*Text::Format* is meant for more powerful text formatting than
*Text::Wrap* allows. I also have a module called *Text::NWrap* that
is meant as a direct replacement for *Text::Wrap*. *Text::NWrap*
requires *Text::Format* since it uses *Text::Format->format* to do the
actual wrapping but gives you the interface of *Text::Wrap*.
