Wrapping phlog posts at 70 characters Saturday Apr 20 12:43:23 2019 I use lynx as gopher client. When sdf/eu had bucktooth as gopher server I could read texts even if they had lines 80 characters long So I didn't really care if my text editor aligned 70 or 80 chars. I used one or the other quite carelessly even though some people had complained they couldn't properly read some or my phlog posts. Well, now since we have gophernicus, not even I can read some of my posts with 80 chars per line. Therefore this is a situation I have change. I started last night wrapping text correctly for gophernicus using 'fold' like this: $ fold -w 70 -s gophermap "w" stands for width and "s" makes text break at spaces and not cut words. This works really great, but it sometimes breaks the layout of some posts so I have to manually revise and tweak them. Not a big deal, just a reminder that you have to do things well from the start: "Al well that begins well" ;) From now on I have: set fill 70 in my .nanorc On a side note, gophernicus seems reluctant to show text that is prepended with some signs like #, * or - so I have to indent some lines to make it work.
