The "test-comment-format" command:

Test comment formatting and printing. Use for testing only.

The default (canonical) formatting algorithm is:

• Omit leading/trailing whitespace
• Collapse internal whitespace into a single space character.
• Attempt to break lines at whitespace or at a hyphen.

Use --whitespace, --origbreak, --trimcrlf, --trimspace, and/or --wordbreak to disable the canonical processing and do the special processing specified by those other options.

Options:

--decode

Decode the text using the same method used when handling the value of a C-card from a manifest.

--file FILE

Omit the TEXT argument and read the comment text from FILE.

--indent

Number of spaces to indent (default (-1) is to auto-detect). Zero means no indent.

--orig FILE

Take the value for the ORIGTEXT argument from FILE.

--origbreak

Attempt to break when the original comment text is detected.

--trimcrlf

Enable trimming of leading/trailing CR/LF.

--trimspace

Enable trimming of leading/trailing spaces.

--whitespace

Keep all internal whitespace.

--wordbreak

Attempt to break lines on word boundaries.

-W|--width NUM

Width of lines (default (-1) is to auto-detect). Zero means no limit.
