- Dear Amigoids,
-
- I would like to expand the text processing aspects of Cygnus Ed (I have
- a coverdisk version, 3.5) by adding a few Arexx Macros. I would really
- like to get it working at the level of BBEdit on the Apple Mac (you
- know, the one with sophisticated word wrap functions, and HTML macros).
-
- Before re-inventing the wheel I would like to check if there are
- pre-existing algorithms out there that I could convert to Arexx. Of
- particular interest would be one that wraps text in any form, whether a
- single long line, or lots of short lines, to a predetermined line length
- (the version I have been working on will only successfully wrap single
- long lines). An unwrap function would also be useful.
-
- Anything else would be useful, too.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Jonathan
-
- P.S. If you do answer this, would you cc a copy straight to me, as well
- as the newsgroup? Thanks.
