Par 1.30 is a package containing documentation and ANSI C source code
for the filter "par".

par is a paragraph reformatter, vaguely similar to fmt, but better.

For example, the command "par 44qg", given the input:

        Could you two please take this to e-mail?

Would produce the output:

XFile List
X
X    The Par 1.30 package is always distributed with at least the following
X    files:
X
X        buffer.h
X        buffer.c
X        failf.h
X        failf.c
X        par.1
X        par.c
X        par.doc
X        protoMakefile
X        reformat.h
X        reformat.c
X
X    Each file is a text file which identifies itself on the second line, and
X    identifies the version of Par to which it belongs on the third line,
X    so you can always tell which file is which even if the files have been
X    renamed.
X
X    The file "par.1" is a man page for the filter par (not to be confused
X    with the package Par, which contains the source code for par).  "par.1"
X    is based on this doc file, and conveys much (not all) of the same
X    information, but "par.doc" is the definitive documentation for both par
X    and Par.

XRelease Notes
X
X    Each entry below describes changes since the previous version.
X
X    Par 1.00 released 25 July 1993
X        The first release.
X
X    Par 1.10 released 2 August 1993
X        Fixed the following bugs:
X            In reformat.c I used sprintf() but forgot to #include <stdio.h>.
X            I forgot to verify that <width> > <prefix> + <suffix>.
X            The first word of a paragraph was expanded to include initial
X            white characters, not just spaces, contrary to par.doc.
X            Some invalid options were not complained about.
X            NUL characters in the input were not handled.
X            A pointer foul-up in freelines() in par.c could cause a crash.
X        Added the following features:
X            The f option.
X            The j option.
X            The t option.
X            The PARBODY environment variable.
X            Multiple options may be concatenated into a single argument.
X        Removed the m option:
X            Its function is better performed by the f and t options.
X            Normally I would avoid making incompatible changes, unless I
X            were doing a complete overhaul of the whole program, in which
X            case I'd make the version number 2.00 to alert users to possible
X            incompatibilities.  However, in this particular instance I
X            allowed an incompatibility in a minor upgrade because version
X            1.00 was distributed to only four people.
X        Changed the handling of white characters:
X            par now changes all of them (except newlines) to spaces as they
X            are read.  This is another incompatible change, excused for the
X            same reason.
X        Made all error messages begin with "par error:".
X
X    Par 1.20 released 10 Aug 1993
X        Since Par 1.10 was distributed to no one, I've made some more
X            incompatible changes in Par 1.20.
X        Added the following features:
X            The d option.
X            Paragraphs are now delimited by vacant lines, not just blank
X                lines.
X            <hang> now affects not only <prefix> but also <suffix>.
X
X    Par 1.30 released 18 Aug 1993
X        Since Par 1.20 was posted to comp.sources.misc, I have made only
X            backward-compatible changes in Par 1.30.
X        Fixed the following bugs:
X            One wrong word in par.c sometimes caused par to crash. Thanks
X                go to [e-mail] (Contr Karl Vogel) for
X                sending me an input file that caused a crash.
X            Too-long words were chopped up before the first word in a
X                paragraph was expanded to include initial spaces, allowing
X                impossibility #1 to occur.  The order of the two operations
X                has been reversed.  Thanks go to [e-mail] (Andrew
X                Cashin) for reporting the error message.
X        Added the following features:
X            The g option (motivated by suggestions from several people).
X            The q option (inspired by a suggestion from [e-mail]
X                (Andrew Cashin)).
X            The R option (my attempt to squash a bad idea from Par 1.00).
X            The PARQUOTE environment variable (comes with the q option).
X            The PARPROTECT environment variable (inspired by a suggestion
X                from [e-mail] (Dennis Flaherty)).
X        Altered the terminology:
X            Several terms have been added, and the meaning of some terms
X            has been slightly modified.  This is a change in the language
X            used to describe par's behavior, not a change in par's actual
X            behavior.
X        Added a clean target to protoMakefile (suggested by [e-mail]
X            (Hal Jespersen)).
X
X
XCompilation
X
X    To compile par, you need an ANSI C compiler.  Copy protoMakefile to
X    Makefile and edit it, following the instructions in the comments.  Then
X    use make (or the equivalent on your system) to compile par.
X
X    If you have no make, compile each .c file into an object file and link
X    all the object files together by whatever method works on your system.
X    Then go look for a version of make that works on your system, since it
X    will come in handy in the future.
X
X    If your compiler warns you about a pointer to a constant being converted
X    to a pointer to a non-constant in line 510 of reformat.c, ignore it.
X    Your compiler (like mine) is in error.  What it thinks is a pointer to
X    a constant is actually a pointer to a pointer to a constant, which is
X    something quite different.  The conversion is legal, and I don't think a
X    correct ANSI C compiler would complain.
X
X    If your compiler generates any other warnings that you think are
X    legitimate, please tell me about them (see the Bugs section).
X
X    Note that all variables in par are either constant or automatic (or
X    both), which means that par can be made reentrant (if your compiler
X    supports it).  Given the right operating system, it should be possible
X    for several par processes to share the same code space and the same data
X    space (but not the same stack, of course) in memory.

XDescription
X
X    par is a filter which copies its input to its output, changing all white
X    characters (except newlines) to spaces, and reformatting each paragraph.
X    Paragraphs are delimited by protected, blank, and vacant lines (see the
X    Terminology section for definitions), and optionally by indentation (see
X    the d option in the Options section).
X
X    Each output paragraph is generated from the corresponding input
X    paragraph as follows:
X
X     1) An optional prefix and/or suffix is removed from each input line.
X     2) The remainder is divided into words (delimited by spaces).
X     3) The words are joined into lines to make an eye-pleasing paragraph.
X     4) The prefixes and suffixes are reattached.
X
X     If there are suffixes, spaces are inserted before them so that they all
X     end in the same column.
X
X
XTerminology
X
X    Miscellaneous terms:
X
X        error
X            A condition which causes par to abort.  See the Diagnostics
X            section.
X
X        IP  Input paragraph.
X
X        OP  Output paragraph.
X
X        parameter
X            A symbol which may take on unsigned integral values.  There are
X            several parameters whose values affect the behavior of par.
X            Parameters can be assigned values using command line options.
X
X
X    Types of characters:
X
X        alphanumeric character
X            An upper case letter, lower case letter, or decimal digit.
X
X        body character
X            A member of the set of characters defined by the PARBODY
X            environment variable (see the Environment section).
X
X        protective character
X            A member of the set of characters defined by the PARPROTECT
X            environment variable (see the Environment section).
X
X        quote character
X            A member of the set of characters defined by the PARQUOTE
X            environment variable (see the Environment section).
X
X        terminal character
X            A period, question mark, exclamation point, or colon.
X
X        white character
X            A space, formfeed, newline, carriage return, tab, or vertical
X            tab.
X
X    Functions:
X
X        comprelen
X            The comprelen of a non-empty set of lines is the length of
X            the longest string of non-body characters appearing at the
X            beginning of every line in the set.
X
X        comsuflen
X            Given a non-empty set <S> of lines, let <p> be the comprelen of
X            <S>.  Let <T> be the set of lines which result from stripping
X            the first <p> characters from each line in <S>.  Let <c> be the
X            longest string of non-body characters appearing at the end of
X            every line in <T>.  Strip <c> of all initial spaces except the
X            last.  The length of <c> is the comsuflen of <S>.
X
X        quoteprefix
X            The quoteprefix of a line is the longest string of quote
X            characters appearing at the beginning of the line, after this
X            string has been stripped of any trailing spaces.
X
X    Types of lines:
X
X        blank line
X            An empty line, or a line whose first character is not protective
X            and which contains only spaces.
X
X        protected line
X            An input line whose first character is protective.
X
X        vacant line
X            Any line which can be shown to be vacant by a finite number of
X            applications of the following recursive rule:  Suppose <S> is a
X            subsequence of a segment (see below) bounded above and below by
X            vacant lines or by the beginning/end of the segment.  Let <p>
X            and <s> be the comprelen and comsuflen of <S>.  Any member of
X            <S> which, if stripped of its first <p> characters and last <s>
X            characters, would be blank, is vacant.
X
X    Groups of lines:
X
X        segment
X            A contiguous sequence of input lines containing no protected or
X            blank lines, bounded above and below by protected lines, blank
X            lines, and/or the beginning/end of the input.
X
X        block
X            A contiguous subsequence of a segment containing no vacant lines,
X            bounded above and below by vacant lines and/or the beginning/end
X            of the segment.
X
X    Types of words:
X
X        capitalized word
X            A word which contains at least one alphanumeric character, whose
X            first alphanumeric character is not a lower case letter.
X
X        curious word
X            A word which contains a terminal character <c> such that there
X            are no alphanumeric characters in the word after <c>, but there
X            is at least one alphanumeric character in the word before <c>.
X
X
XOptions
X
X    Any command line argument may begin with one minus sign (-) which is
X    ignored.  Generally, more than one option may appear in a single command
X    line argument, but there is one exception:  The version option must have
X    a whole argument all to itself.
X
X    version     Causes all remaining arguments to be ignored.  No input is
X                read.  "par 1.30" is printed on the output.  Of course, this
X                will change in future releases of Par.
X
X    All remaining options are used to set values of parameters.  Values set
X    by command line options hold for all paragraphs.  Unset parameters are
X    given default values.  Any unset parameters whose default values depend
X    on the IP are recomputed separately for each paragraph.
X
X    The approximate role of each parameter is described here.  See the
X    Details section for the rest of the story.
X
X    The first four parameters, <hang>, <prefix>, <suffix>, and <width>, may
X    be set to any unsigned decimal integer less than 10000.
X
X    h[<hang>]   Mainly affects the default values of <prefix> and <suffix>.
X                Defaults to 0.  If the h option is given without a number,
X                the value 1 is inferred.  (See also the p and s options.)
X
X    p<prefix>   The first <prefix> characters of each line of the OP
X                are copied from the first <prefix> characters of the
X                corresponding line of the IP.  If there are more than
X                <hang> + 1 lines in the IP, the default value is the
X                comprelen of all the lines in the IP except the first <hang>
X                of them.  If there are exactly <hang> + 1 lines in the IP
X                and <quote> is 1, the default value is the number of leading
X                quote characters in the last line.  Otherwise the default
X                value is 0.  (See also the h and q options.)
X
X    s<suffix>   The last <suffix> characters of each line of the OP
X                are copied from the last <suffix> characters of the
X                corresponding line of the IP.  If there are more than
X                <hang> + 1 lines in the IP, the default value is the
X                comsuflen of all the lines of the IP except the first <hang>
X                of them.  Otherwise the default value is 0.  (See also the h
X                option.)
X
X    w<width>    No line in the OP will contain more than <width> characters,
X                not including the trailing newlines.  Defaults to 72.
X
X    The remaining eight parameters, <div>, <fit>, <guess>, <just>, <last>,
X    <quote>, <Report>, and <touch>, may be set to either 0 or 1.  If the
X    number is absent in the option, the value 1 is inferred.
X
X    d[<div>]    If <div> is 0, then each block becomes an IP.  If <div> is
X                1, then each block is subdivided into IPs as follows:  Let
X                <p> be the comprelen of the block.  Let a line's status be 1
X                if its (<p> + 1)st character is a space, 0 otherwise.  Every
X                line in the block whose status is the same as the status of
X                the first line will begin a new paragraph.  Defaults to 0.
X
X    f[<fit>]    If <fit> is 1 and <just> is 0, par will try to make the
X                lines in the OP as nearly the same length as possible, even
X                if it means making the OP narrower.  Defaults to 0.  (See
X                also the j option.)
X
X    g[<guess>]  If <guess> is 1, then when par is choosing line breaks,
X                whenever it encounters a curious word followed by a
X                capitalized word, it take one of two special actions.  If
X                the two words are separated by a single space in the
X                input, they will be merged into one word with an embedded
X                non-breaking space.  If the two words are separated by more
X                than one space, or by a line break, then par will insure
X                that they are separated by two spaces, or by a line break,
X                in the output.  Defaults to 0.
X
X    j[<just>]   If <just> is 1, par justifies the OP, inserting spaces
X                between words so that all lines in the OP have length
X                <width> (except the last, if <last> is 0).  <fit> has no
X                effect if <just> is 1.  Defaults to 0.  (See also the w, l,
X                and f options.)
X
X    l[<last>]   If <last> is 1, par tries to make the last line of the OP
X                about the same length as the others.  Defaults to 0.
X
X    q[<quote>]  If <quote> is 1, then before each segment is scanned for
X                vacant lines, par will insert some new lines as follows:
X                For each pair of adjacent lines in the segment, if the
X                quoteprefix of one is a prefix of (but not the same as) the
X                quoteprefix of the other, and each of the two lines contains
X                at least one non-quote character, then a line consisting of
X                the smaller quoteprefix will be inserted between the two
X                lines.  <quote> also affects the default value of <prefix>.
X                Defaults to 0.  (See also the p option.)
X
X    R[<Report>] If <Report> is 1, then it will be considered an error for an
X                input word to contain more than <L> = (<width> - <prefix> -
X                <suffix>) characters.  Otherwise, such words will be chopped
X                after each <L>th character into shorter words.  Defaults
X                to 0.  It is recommended that this option be included in
X                PARINIT (see the Environment section).
X
X    t[<touch>]  Has no effect if <suffix> is 0 or <just> is 1.  Otherwise,
X                if <touch> is 0, all lines in the OP have length <width>.
X                If <touch> is 1, then the length of the lines is decreased
X                until the suffixes touch the body of the OP.  Defaults to
X                the logical OR of <fit> and <last>.  (See also the s, j, w,
X                f, and l options.)
X
X    If the value of any parameter is set more than once, the last value is
X    used.  When unset parameters are assigned default values, <hang> and
X    <quote> are assigned before <prefix>, and <fit> and <last> are assigned
X    before <touch> (because of the dependencies).
X
X    It is an error if <width> <= <prefix> + <suffix>.
X
X
XEnvironment
X
X    PARBODY     All and only the characters appearing in the value of
X                PARBODY count as body characters (which are used for
X                determining comprelens and comsuflens).  The underscore is
X                an escape character, which may begin the following escape
X                sequences:
X
X                   __ = an underscore
X                   _s = a space
X                   _A = all upper case letters
X                   _a = all lower case letters
X                   _0 = all decimal digits
X                 _xhh = the character represented by the two hexadecimal
X                        digits hh (which may be upper or lower case)
X
X                If PARBODY is not set, there are no body characters.
X
X                A good value for PARBODY might be "_A_a.", but it depends on
X                the application.
X
X    PARINIT     If set, par will read command line options from PARINIT
X                before it reads them from the command line.
X
X    PARPROTECT  Determines the set of protective characters, using the same
X                syntax as PARBODY.  If PARPROTECT is not set, there are no
X                protective characters.
X
X    PARQUOTE    Determines the set of quote characters, using the same
X                syntax as PARBODY.  If PARQUOTE is not set, then the quote
X                characters are the greater-than sign and the space.
X
X    If a NUL character appears in the value of an environment variable, it
X    and the rest of the string will not be seen by par.
X
X
XDetails
X
X    Lines are terminated by newline characters, but the newlines are not
X    considered to be included in the lines.  If the last character of the
X    input is a non-newline, then a newline will be inferred immediately
X    after it (but if the input is empty, no newline will be inferred; the
X    number of input lines will be 0).  Thus, the input can always be viewed
X    as a sequence of lines.
X
X    Protected lines are copied unchanged from the input to the output.  All
X    other input lines, as they are read, have any NUL characters removed,
X    and every white character (except newlines) turned into a space.
X
X    Blank lines in the input are transformed into empty lines in the output.
X    Vacant lines in the input are stripped of trailing spaces before being
X    output.
X
X    The input is divided into segments, which are divided into blocks,
X    which are divided into IPs.  The exact process depends on the values of
X    <quote> and <div> (see q and d in the Options section).  The remainder
X    of this section describes the process which is applied independently to
X    each IP to construct the corresponding OP.
X
X    After the values of the parameters are determined (see the Options
X    section), the first <prefix> characters and the last <suffix> characters
X    of each input line are removed and remembered.  It is an error for any
X    line to contain fewer than <prefix> + <suffix> characters.
X
X    The remaining text is treated as a sequence of characters, not lines.
X    The text is broken into words, which are delimited by spaces.  That is,
X    a word is a maximal sub-sequence of non-spaces.  If <guess> is 1, then
X    some words might be merged (see g in the Options section).  The first
X    word includes any spaces that preceed it on the same line.
X
X    Let <L> = <width> - <prefix> - <suffix>.
X
X    If <Report> is 0, then some words may get chopped up at this point (see
X    R in the Options section).
X
X    The words are reassembled, preserving their order, into lines.  If
X    <just> is 0, adjacent words within a line are separated by a single
X    space (or sometimes two if <guess> is 1), and line breaks are chosen so
X    that the paragraph satisfies the following properties:
X
X         1) No line contains more than <L> characters.
X
X         2) If <fit> is 1, the difference between the lengths of the
X            shortest and longest lines is as small as possible.
X
X         3) The shortest line is as long as possible, subject to properties
X            1 and 2.
X
X         4) Let <target> be <L> if <fit> is 0, or the length of the longest
X            line if <fit> is 1.  The sum of the squares of the differences
X            between <target> and the lengths of the lines is as small as
X            possible, subject to properties 1, 2, and 3.
X
X        If <last> is 0, then the last line does not count as a line for the
X        purposes of properties 2, 3, and 4 above.
X
X        If all the words fit on a single line, then the properties as worded
X        above don't make much sense.  In that case, no line breaks are
X        inserted.
X
X    If <just> is 1, then adjacent words within a line are separated by one
X    space (or sometimes two if <guess> is 1) plus zero or more extra spaces.
X    The value of <fit> is disregarded, and line breaks are chosen so that
X    the paragraph satisfies the following properties:
X
X         1) Every line contains exactly <L> characters.
X
X         2) The largest inter-word gap is as small as possible, subject
X            to property 1.  (An inter-word gap consists only of the extra
X            spaces, not the regular spaces.)
X
X         3) The sum of the squares of the lengths of the inter-word gaps is
X            as small as possible, subject to properties 1 and 2.
X
X        If <last> is 0, then the last line does not count as a line for the
X        purposes of property 1, and it does not require or contain any extra
X        spaces.
X
X        Extra spaces are distributed as uniformly as possible among the
X        inter-word gaps in each line.
X
X        In a justified paragraph, every line must contain at least two
X        words, but that's not always possible to accomplish.  If the
X        paragraph cannot be justified, it is considered an error.
X
X    If the number of lines in the resulting paragraph is less than <hang>,
X    then empty lines are added at the end to bring the number of lines up to
X    <hang>.
X
X    If <just> is 0 and <touch> is 1, then <L> is changed to be the length of
X    the longest line.
X
X    If <suffix> is not 0, then each line is padded at the end with spaces to
X    bring its length up to <L>.
X
X    To each line is prepended <prefix> characters.  Let <n> be the number of
X    lines in the IP.  The characters which are prepended to the <i>th line
X    are chosen as follows:
X
X     1) If <i> <= <n>, then the characters are copied from the ones that
X        were removed from the beginning of the <n>th input line.
X
X     2) If <i> > <n> > <hang>, then the characters are copied from the ones
X        that were removed from the beginning of the last input line.
X
X     3) If <i> > <n> and <n> <= <hang>, then the characters are all spaces.
X
X    Then to each line is appended <suffix> characters.  The characters which
X    are appended to the <i>th line are chosen as follows:
X
X     1) If <i> <= <n>, then the characters are copied from the ones that
X        were removed from the end of the nth input line.
X
X     2) If <i> > <n> > 0, then the characters are copied from the ones that
X        were removed from the end of the last input line.
X
X     3) If <n> = 0, then the characters are all spaces.
X
X    Finally, the lines are printed to the output as the OP.
X
X
XDiagnostics
X
X    If there are no errors, par returns EXIT_SUCCESS (see <stdlib.h>).
X
X    If there is an error, then an error message will be printed to the
X    output, and par will return EXIT_FAILURE.  If the error is local to a
X    single paragraph, then the preceeding paragraphs will have been output
X    before the error was detected.  Line numbers in error messages are local
X    to the IP in which the error occurred.  All error messages begin with
X    "par error:" on a line by itself.
X
X    Of course, trying to print an error message would be futile if an error
X    resulted from an output function, so par doesn't bother doing any error
X    checking on output functions.
X
X
XExamples
X
X    The superiority of par's dynamic programming algorithm over a greedy
X    algorithm (such as the one used by fmt) can be seen in the following
X    example:
X
X    Original paragraph:
X
X        We the people of the United States,
X        in order to form a more perfect union,
X        establish justice,
X        insure domestic tranquility,
X        provide for the common defense,
X        promote the general welfare,
X        and secure the blessing of liberty
X        to ourselves and our posterity,
X        do ordain and establish the Constitution
X        of the United States of America.
X
X    After a greedy algorithm with width = 39:
X
X        We the people of the United
X        States, in order to form a more
X        perfect union, establish
X        establish justice, insure
X        domestic tranquility, provide
X        for the common defense, promote
X        the general welfare, and secure
X        the blessing of liberty to
X        ourselves and our posterity, do
X        ordain and establish the
X        Constitution of the United
X        States of America.
X
X    After "par 39":
X
X        We the people of the United
X        States, in order to form a
X        more perfect union, establish
X        justice, insure domestic
X        tranquility, provide for the
X        common defense, promote the
X        general welfare, and secure

X        ourselves and our posterity,
X        do ordain and establish the
X        Constitution of the United
X        States of America.
X
X    The line breaks chosen by par are clearly more eye-pleasing.
X
X    par is most useful in conjunction with the text-filtering features of an
X    editor, such as the ! commands of vi.

X        That wasn't very helpful, Joe.
X        Jane, just make a link from
X        uncompress to compress.

X        I sure hope there's still room
X        in Dr. Jones' section of archaeology.
X        I've heard he's the best.

XLimitations
X
X    The <guess> feature guesses wrong in cases like the following:
X
X        I calc'd the approx.
X        Fermi level to 3 sig. digits.
X
X    With <guess> = 1, par will incorrectly assume that "approx." ends a
X    sentence.  If the input were:
X
X        I calc'd the approx. Fermi
X        level to 3 sig. digits.
X
X    then par would refuse to put a line break between "approx." and "Fermi"
X    in the output, mainly to avoid creating the first situation (in case the
X    paragraph were to be fed back through par again).  This non-breaking
X    space policy does come in handy for cases like "Mr. Johnson" and
X    "Jan. 1", though.
X
X    The <guess> feature only goes one way.  par can preserve wide sentence
X    breaks in a paragraph, or remove them, but it can't insert them if they
X    aren't already in the input.
X
X    If you use tabs, you probably won't like the way par handles (or doesn't
X    handle) them.  It turns them into spaces.  I didn't bother trying to
X    make sense of tabs because they don't make sense to begin with.  Not
X    everyone's terminal has the same tab settings, so text files containing
X    tabs are sometimes mangled.  In fact, almost every text file containing
X    tabs gets mangled when something is inserted at the beginning of each
X    line (when quoting e-mail or commenting out a section of a shell script,
X    for example), making them a pain to edit.  In my opinion, the world
X    would be a nicer place if everyone stopped using tabs (so I'm doing my
X    part by not supporting them in par).  (Thanks to [e-mail] (Eric
X    T. Stuebe) for showing me the light about tabs.)
X
X    There is currently no way for the length of the output prefix to differ
X    from the length of the input prefix.  Ditto for the suffix.  I may
X    consider adding this capability in a future release, but right now I'm
X    not sure how I'd want it to work.
X
X
XBugs
X
X    If I knew of any bugs, I wouldn't release the package.  Of course, there
X    may be bugs that I haven't yet discovered.
X
X    If you find any bugs (in the program or in the documentation), or if you
X    have any suggestions, please send e-mail to:
X
X        [e-mail]
X
X    or send paper mail to:

X    Note that both addresses could change anytime after June 1994.
X
X    When reporting a bug, please include the exact input and command line
X    options used, and the version number of par, so that I can reproduce it.
