I've been trying to build up my gopher site, and I'm noticing that the text
flow I have is really bad because lines wrap to the edge of the terminal
window.
I've been reading that using a line length of 70 characters is encouraged.
It looks like bboard enforces a 75-char line length.
What are some good ways to reflow text files from wrapping really lone
lines to instead keeping a more readable line length? I think maybe I could
do it with python or a bash script. Is there something out there that
already exists for this?
Cheers
