Lovely Rufus is an executable and a Ruby library for wrapping paragraphs of text in the spirit of Par.
Lovely Rufus can be used from the command-line by piping text through the lovely-rufus executable:
$ echo 'The Ballyshannon foundered off the coast of Cariboo, And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;' | lovely-rufus
The Ballyshannon foundered off the coast of Cariboo,
And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
Lovely Rufus can also be used from Ruby code through the wrap method:
$ irb
>> require 'lovely_rufus'
>> text = 'The Ballyshannon foundered off the coast of Cariboo, And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;'
>> puts LovelyRufus.wrap(text)
The Ballyshannon foundered off the coast of Cariboo,
And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
Note that wrap can take optional desired width:
$ irb
>> require 'lovely_rufus'
>> text = 'The Ballyshannon foundered off the coast of Cariboo, And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;'
>> puts LovelyRufus.wrap(text, width: 15)
The
Ballyshannon
foundered off
the coast of
Cariboo, And
down in fathoms
many went the
captain and
the crew;
Currently, Lovely Rufus sports the following features:
- paragraphs are wrapped to the specified width,
- one-letter words are not left at ends of lines,
- email quotes (
>) are handled properly and normalised (> > >→>>>), - email-quoted paragraph breaks are cleared,
- code comments (starting with
#and//) are handled properly, - multiple paragraphs are wrapped independently.
Lovely Rufus was created as a Ruby Mendicant University project and is named after a certain Love Actually character who’s exceptionally good at wrapping.
