Text::Reform 1.11

Text::Reform is a Perl module for manual text wrapping and reformatting. SYNOPSIS use Text::Reform; print form $template, $data, $to, $fill, $it, $with; use Text::Reform qw( tag ); print tag B, $enboldened_text; The form sub The form() subroutine may be exported from the module. It takes a series of format (or "picture") strings followed by replacement values, interpolates those values into each picture string, and returns the result. The effect is similar to the inbuilt perl format mechanism, although the field specification syntax is simpler and some of the formatting behaviour is more sophisticated. A picture string consists of sequences of the following characters: <<br /> Left-justified field indicator. A series of two or more sequential <s specify a left-justified field to be filled by a subsequent value. A single < is formatted as the literal character < > Right-justified field indicator. A series of two or more sequential >s specify a right-justified field to be filled by a subsequent value. A single < is formatted as the literal character < <<<>>> Fully-justified field indicator. Field may be of any width, and brackets need not balance, but there must be at least 2 < and 2 >. ^ Centre-justified field indicator. A series of two or more sequential ^s specify a centred field to be filled by a subsequent value. A single ^ is formatted as the literal character < >>>.<<<< A numerically formatted field with the specified number of digits to either side of the decimal place. See "Numerical formatting" below. [ Left-justified block field indicator. Just like a < field, except it repeats as required on subsequent lines. See below. A single [ is formatted as the literal character [ ] Right-justified block field indicator. Just like a > field, except it repeats as required on subsequent lines. See below. A single ] is formatted as the literal character ] [[[]]] Fully-justified block field indicator. Just like a <<<>>> field, except it repeats as required on subsequent lines. See below. Field may be of any width, and brackets need not balance, but there must be at least 2 [ and 2 ]. | Centre-justified block field indicator. Just like a ^ field, except it repeats as required on subsequent lines. See below. A single | is formatted as the literal character | ]]].[[[[ A numerically formatted block field with the specified number of digits to either side of the decimal place. Just like a >>>.<<<< field, except it repeats as required on subsequent lines. See below. ~ A one-character wide block field. Literal escape of next character (e.g. ~ is formatted as ~, not a one character wide block field). Any other character That literal character. Any substitution value which is undef (either explicitly so, or because it is missing) is replaced by an empty string..
