Using PAR to reformat text in VIM
- telemachos 16y agoThe post mentions getting par[1] via aptitude. Good news for Mac users: it's also available via Homebrew: brew install par. (It should install easily on pretty much any modern Unix-like system.) Some of the commenters say in effect: Vim can reformat text already. That's true, but my understanding is that par can do it far better (and more flexibly) than Vim's built-in formatter[2][3].
