Your rule is indeed misformatted AFAICS.
* tab characters are used instead of spaces
* there is a tab character after "via" where there should be a space
* the number of characters in each line is 75ish, compared to the normal 70
You are using KMail, and therefore I'm sure you can use several other
editors including Kate that support piping text through stuff. You could
use Zefram's "afmt" that was posted a while back, or here are some PHP
hacks I use: (both take the number of characters on the left as an
optional argument)
awrap:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
if(empty($argv[1])) $a = 6; else $a = (int) $argv[1];
echo preg_replace('/^/m', str_repeat(' ', $a),
wordwrap(
file_get_contents('php://stdin'),
70 - $a
));
?>
aunwrap:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$sentence = isset($argv[1]) ? ((int) $argv[1]) : '6';
echo trim(
str_replace(array("\t", "\r"), '',
preg_replace("/(?<!\n)\n(?!\n)/", "",
preg_replace("/^\s*$/m", "",
preg_replace('/([^ ])([\r\n])/', '$1 $2',
preg_replace('/['.chr(160).chr(32).']{'.$sentence.'}/', "\t",
file_get_contents('php://stdin'))))))) . "\n";
?>
FWIW even if the proposal was well formatted and had a good mechanism for
enforcement, I would be against it. Don't fix what ain't broke; wait for
someone to break it first. Or do that yourself by making some interesting
scam...
