ASCII BOX DRAWING - THE BOXES FILTER PROGRAM
|
|
|
|
boxes is a text filter which can draw ASCII art boxes around
|
|
its input text. These boxes may also be removed, even if they
|
|
have been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since
|
|
boxes may be open on any side, boxes can also be used to
|
|
create regional comments in any programming language. With
|
|
the help of an editor macro or mapping, damaged boxes can
|
|
easily be repaired.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for making the function headers in your
|
|
programming language look better, for spicing up your news
|
|
postings and emails, or just for decorating your documentation
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
New box designs of all sorts can easily be added and shared
|
|
by appending to a free format configuration file. boxes was
|
|
intended to be used with the vim(1) text editor, but can be
|
|
tied to any text editor which supports filters.
