Paragraphs are separated by protected, blank, and + bodiless lines (see the Terminology section for definitions), and + optionally delimited by indentation (see the d option in the Options + section). + + Each output paragraph is generated from the corresponding input + paragraph as follows: + + 1) An optional prefix and/or suffix is removed from each input + line. + 2) The remainder is divided into words (separated by spaces). + 3) The words are joined into lines to make an eye-pleasing + paragraph. + 4) The prefixes and suffixes are reattached. + + If there are suffixes, spaces are inserted before them so that they + all end in the same column. |
