Format Plain Text

Lines

Start every sentence on new line. Break any sentence over 80 characters across lines. Split at commas, conjunctions, or clause boundaries. Use 100 characters as margin for .tex files. Indent every continuation line by two spaces.

Scope

Apply to Markdown body, TeX paragraphs, and .txt prose. Apply to blockquotes and full-sentence list items too.

Skip

Skip fenced code and inline code. Skip frontmatter, tables, headings, and link references. Skip any line where hard break changes rendered output.

Reflow

Preserve layout when document already follows these rules. Reformat only sentences you touch when document does not follow them. Reflow whole document only when asked.

Output

Return input text with each sentence on its own line. Indent every continuation line two spaces. Preserve every word, punctuation mark, and code span unchanged.

Done

Confirm every sentence begins on its own line. Confirm prose lines fit 80 characters, or 100 characters for .tex. Confirm wording and character count match input.
